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.
