Keto Chicken Nuggets
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Cooking oil (such as avocado oil or coconut oil) for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat them thoroughly in the breading mixture. Press the breading onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
- Transfer the partially cooked chicken nuggets to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken nuggets in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through and crispy.
- Once they're done, remove the chicken nuggets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
