Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes for bite-sized popcorn pieces.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy to prepare the egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Transfer the chicken piece into the almond flour mixture and coat it thoroughly, pressing lightly to adhere the mixture to the chicken.
Step 6
Repeat the dipping and coating process for all chicken pieces, placing them on a clean plate.
Step 7
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, ensuring there's enough oil to cover the chicken pieces halfway.
Step 8
Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches, avoiding crowding the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the cooked chicken popcorn to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the Low Carb Crispy Chicken Popcorn immediately with your favorite low carb dipping sauce.
