Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup almond flour

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika (for a smoky flavor)

½ tsp sea salt

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for frying)

Optional: keto-friendly dipping sauce (such as ranch, sugar-free BBQ sauce, or a creamy avocado dip)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, roughly uniform in size to ensure even cooking. Aim for nugget-sized pieces that will be easy to handle.

    Make the Breading Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well with a whisk or fork until all ingredients are fully blended.

      Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, beat the two large eggs together until the yolks and whites are well mixed. This will act as a binding agent to help the breading stick to the chicken.

        Coat the Chicken: Take each piece of chicken and first dip it into the egg wash, ensuring it is completely covered. Next, transfer the chicken to the almond flour mixture, rolling it around to coat it thoroughly. Press gently on the coating to help it adhere well.

          Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil (or avocado oil) over medium heat. Wait until the oil is hot and shimmering, but not smoking, which indicates it's ready for frying.

            Fry the Nuggets: Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the nuggets are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

              Drain and Serve: Once your chicken nuggets are perfectly golden and cooked through, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Serve them piping hot alongside your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce for a delightful meal. Enjoy every crispy, guilt-free bite!
