Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 0.5 cup pickle juice
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
Step 2
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and cover them with pickle juice. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
Remove the chicken pieces from the pickle juice and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
Step 7
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 8
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
