Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1 Bottle olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches each.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Dip each chicken piece into the whisked eggs, making sure it is completely coated.

Step 6

Transfer the egg-coated chicken into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere to the chicken.

Step 7

Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there is some space between each piece.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
