Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the olive oil to the eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the almond flour mixture. Coat each piece thoroughly, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken bites rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as they are, or dip in your favorite sauce!
