Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces about 1 inch in size.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the two large eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken into the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure the flour mixture adheres well to each piece. Place coated chicken pieces on a plate lined with parchment paper until ready to fry.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Carefully add chicken pieces in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
