Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the dill pickle juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the breading by combining almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow dish and mix well.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg until smooth.
Step 5
Drain the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll in the almond flour mixture until well coated.
Step 7
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 8
Add the chicken pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 9
Cook the nuggets for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
Transfer cooked nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 11
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
