Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Olive oil spray
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken piece into the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the flour to all sides.
Repeat the coating process for all chicken pieces and place them on a clean plate or tray.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the chicken nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch or overlap.
Spray the top of the chicken nuggets lightly with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness.
Air fry the nuggets at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the nuggets reaches 165°F (74°C) and the outside is golden and crispy.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce and enjoy!
