Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
Spray the tops of the chicken pieces lightly with olive oil to ensure they crisp up in the oven.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Bang Bang sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, chili garlic sauce, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute.
Transfer the baked chicken pieces to a large bowl, drizzle the sauce over them, and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Low Carb Bang Bang Chicken!
