Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the almond flour mixture to form an even layer of breading.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to do this in batches.
Fry the chicken bites for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. If needed, adjust the heat to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken bites from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with a keto-friendly dipping sauce of your choice.
