Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup avocado oil or olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches in size.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly so that the coating adheres.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the chicken bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy chicken bites hot, with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or side.
