Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the dill pickle juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the breading by combining almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow dish and mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg until smooth.
Drain the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry with paper towels.
Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll in the almond flour mixture until well coated.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add the chicken pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook the nuggets for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
