Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs to create an egg wash.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
After the egg wash, roll the chicken piece in the almond flour mixture, firmly pressing the flour mixture onto the chicken to create an even coating.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for about 5 minutes.
Arrange the coated chicken nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Lightly spray the chicken nuggets with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
Air fry the nuggets for 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, or until they are golden brown and have an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Remove the nuggets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy Whole30 airfried chicken nuggets!
