Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken piece into the almond flour mixture and press lightly to coat all sides evenly.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 5 minutes.
Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the coated chicken nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other to allow even cooking.
Spray the top of the chicken nuggets with a light coat of olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
Cook in the air fryer at 200°C (390°F) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Check for doneness by cutting into a nugget to ensure it's cooked throughout.
Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce and enjoy your crispy Keto Air Fried Chicken Nuggets!
