Description

Crispy and delicious Keto Chicken Nuggets that are low-carb and perfect for a keto diet. These nuggets are easy to make, family-friendly, and great for meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, then coat it evenly with the almond flour mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the nuggets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Alternatively, place the nuggets in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use crushed pork rinds instead of almond flour.
  • You can bake the nuggets at 400°F for 15-20 minutes if you prefer not to fry them.
  • Add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the coating for a spicy kick.
  • Freeze cooked nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for meal prep.
