Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large egg
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup avocado oil or coconut oil for frying

Method

1

Pat the chicken pieces very dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.

2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and almond milk.

3

In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.

4

Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

5

Then, dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating on all sides.

6

Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

7

Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches.

8

Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).

9

Remove the cooked nuggets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

10

Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauces like sugar-free ketchup or ranch.
