Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
In another bowl, combine almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks, and place on a plate.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken nuggets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the nuggets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
