Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch each.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and mix until well coated. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese. This will be used for coating the chicken pieces.
Once the grill is preheated and the chicken is done marinating, take each chicken piece and coat it thoroughly in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the grill. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes, or until the nuggets are golden brown and fully cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Remove the grilled nuggets from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the keto grilled chicken nuggets with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a side salad.
