- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for nugget-sized pieces.
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, ensuring it is well-coated.
Dredge the egg-coated chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated chicken nuggets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the chicken nuggets with olive oil spray to promote crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
