Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, place the coated chicken pieces into the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Cook the poppers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the cooked poppers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining chicken pieces.
Step 10
Serve the crispy chicken poppers warm with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce.
