Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 Bottle olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches each.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
In another shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Dip each chicken piece into the whisked eggs, making sure it is completely coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there is some space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
