Ingredients
  

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

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

Olive oil spray or coconut oil spray for frying

Optional: dipping sauce (e.g., sugar-free BBQ sauce or ranch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you prefer baking. If frying, set aside.

    Prepare the Coating: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Prepare the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

        Coat the Chicken: Roll each piece of chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Set aside on a plate until all pieces are coated.

          Choose Your Cooking Method:

            - For Baking: Place the coated chicken nuggets on a lined baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil or coconut oil for added crispiness. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

              - For Frying: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil or coconut oil. Fry the nuggets in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

                Serve: Once cooked, let the nuggets cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra kick!
