Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 1 cup Ground pork rinds
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a bowl, combine the ground pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Dredge the egg-coated chicken piece in the pork rind and cheese mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breading to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
Once all chicken pieces are coated, lightly brush each with olive oil to help them crisp up while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the nuggets are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, ensuring an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Allow the nuggets to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Keto Homemade Chicken McNuggets with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
