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.
