Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 cups Olive oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, coating completely.
Dredge the chicken in the flour and cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is fully covered.
Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary, until golden brown and cooked through; this should take about 5-6 minutes per batch. Maintain the oil's temperature for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken balls hot, with a side of your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
