Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 3 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Whey protein isolate
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches in size.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, soy sauce, and water until well combined.
Add the chicken pieces to the egg white mixture, ensuring they are completely coated. Let it marinate while preparing the batter.
For the batter, in a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein isolate, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Remove each piece of chicken from the marinade and dip it into the batter mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces into the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the chicken bites for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
