Make a simple healthy swap with these tasty coconut-crumb chicken goujons.
These gorgeous goujons have all the satisfying crunch of breadcrumbed chicken, but the deliciously light almond and coconut coating makes them a much healthier option.

Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast per person, cut into strips
- 100g ground almonds
- 1 beaten egg
