Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches each.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Next, coat the chicken piece in the almond flour mixture, pressing slightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Repeat with all chicken pieces until they are all coated and arranged on the baking sheet.
Step 8
Lightly spray the chicken nuggets with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the nuggets are golden brown, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 10
Let the chicken nuggets cool for a minute before serving with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
