Oh gluten where art thou?

While I don’t follow a gluten free diet, many of my friends do. I’ve noticed many of them using coconut flour more recently. I love coconut in any form so I was intrigued. How would a flour made of something that I usually consider a dessert ingredient work in a savoury dish?

Grace Foods has brought a new line of all things coconut into Canada so I had everything at my fingertips to try out this great recipe for gluten free chicken tenders.

The recipe seemed a bit fiddly but I realized that the steps made the crust stick to the chicken tenders. It actually worked really well. The only change I would make is to try to make sure the coating isn’t too thick as the texture is better when it is a bit thinner so it crisps up a bit. I had to cook the tenders quite a bit longer than the 15 minutes listed but that could just be my oven. The mango sauce is really tasty and goes really well with the chicken tenders. Overall, I found the coconut flour worked well in this savoury recipe though the texture is a bit different than what you would be used to with all purpose flour.

Grace Coconut Products

While I was excited to make the chicken tenders, I was also pretty stoked to try a few of their other products.  A few I was very familiar with. I use coconut milk a lot. In fact, Thai Coconut Soup with Chicken is one of my favourite soups. I also use coconut sugar every single morning in my latte. Here’s a tip…sprinkle a bit of your coconut sugar on the top of your latte for a yummy brûlée effect.

Coconut Sugar Latte

My favourite new product that I had never tried before were the Coconut Chips. Holy tasty, Batman! They are crispy and sweet but a bit salty too. The perfect sweet and savoury snack that is perfect alone or as a great topping for ice cream. YUM! I’ve had to hide the bag from Evan because he likes them too but they are ALL MINE.

I think it is awesome that Grace is working to make it easier to find quality coconut products in the stores where you shop in Canada. Wondering where you might find these products? Here is a handy pdf with location information or check out the Grace Foods website. You can also find Grace Foods on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
