KETO SPINACH SALAD WITH COCONUT-BREADED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use avocado oil to heavily grease a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place coconut flakes in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse just until flakes are coarsely ground; do not process to a powder. Transfer to a medium bowl and add Cajun seasoning; toss to combine.
• Place chicken thighs between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/4-inch thickness. Transfer to the bowl of seasoned coconut and roll each thigh around until well coated. Place breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn on the broiler and broil until extra crispy (if desired), about 1 minute. Remove from the oven and slice.
