Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Egg
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
• 0.5 cup Olive oil or avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch each.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

While the oil is heating, dip each piece of chicken first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat in the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry the chicken bites for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

Step 8

Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining chicken pieces.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or salad.
