Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each.
In a bowl, combine the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Then roll the chicken cube in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres evenly. Place each coated chicken bite on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the coating process for all chicken bites, ensuring they are evenly spaced on the baking sheet without touching.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, gently turn the chicken bites over to ensure even cooking and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free crispy oven-baked chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauce or as a delightful snack on their own.
