Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 60 ml Coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces approximately 1 inch in thickness.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip off. Then coat the chicken piece evenly with the almond flour mixture.
Place the coated chicken nuggets on a plate, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken nuggets in batches, ensuring the pan is not overcrowded.
Fry the chicken nuggets for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken nuggets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Mini Chicken Nuggets hot with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce.
