Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 60 ml Coconut oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces approximately 1 inch in thickness.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip off. Then coat the chicken piece evenly with the almond flour mixture.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken nuggets on a plate, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken nuggets in batches, ensuring the pan is not overcrowded.
Step 7
Fry the chicken nuggets for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken nuggets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Mini Chicken Nuggets hot with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce.
