Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches each.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
Next, coat the chicken piece in the almond flour mixture, pressing slightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with all chicken pieces until they are all coated and arranged on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray the chicken nuggets with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the nuggets are golden brown, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the chicken nuggets cool for a minute before serving with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
