Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches in size.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly so that the coating adheres.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken bites hot, with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or side.
