Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into small, nugget-sized pieces, about 1-inch wide.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely covered, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry the chicken nuggets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the nuggets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Allow to cool slightly before serving with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce. Enjoy!
