Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl with the pickle juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to marinate.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Set aside.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be the breading mixture.
Step 5
Drain the marinated chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breading mixture. Repeat until all nuggets are covered.
Step 7
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, add the nuggets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the nuggets are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the nuggets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
