Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 egg
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 8 wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
In a bowl, beat the eggs with heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, ensuring even spacing.
Step 6
Dip each skewer into the egg mixture, coating the chicken thoroughly.
Step 7
Transfer to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to cover the chicken in a crispy coating.
Step 8
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, place the skewers in the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
Remove the skewers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb crispy fried chicken skewers with your choice of dipping sauce.
