Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes, and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing slightly to ensure it adheres well.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil or avocado oil, enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Fry them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken bites from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Batter Chicken Bites with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauces or a side salad.
