Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Once the oil is hot, place the coated chicken pieces into the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the poppers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the cooked poppers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining chicken pieces.
Serve the crispy chicken poppers warm with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce.
