Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 3 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Whey protein isolate
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches in size.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, soy sauce, and water until well combined.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the egg white mixture, ensuring they are completely coated. Let it marinate while preparing the batter.
Step 4
For the batter, in a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein isolate, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Remove each piece of chicken from the marinade and dip it into the batter mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Step 7
Place the coated chicken pieces into the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Cook the chicken bites for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the chicken bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
