Description
Create a better than drive-thru meal with these almond flour coated nuggets. No unwanted ingredients, no frying- just healthy, delicious and grain-free!
Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast- cubed
1 large egg- beaten well
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut up chicken breast into nugget sized pieces. Shake a little salt and pepper directly onto the chicken.
- Get out 2 separate bowls. In one bowl, beat the egg well. In the second bowl, stir together the almond flour and spices.
- Dip each nugget into the egg wash, then coat with the almond flour mixture.
- There are 3 ways to bake these nuggets:
- Place nuggets onto the parchment paper
- Place nuggets onto a cooling rack over the baking sheet. (see pictures in post)
- Place in the air fry basket of a toaster oven (if available).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the outside looks golden and crispy. If baking directly on the parchment paper, flip nuggets halfway through.
- Serve immediately with sauces of choice!
Notes
If using the cooling rack or air fryer method, there is no need to flip the nuggets.
Leftovers can be refrigerated. Just plan to reheat in an oven to re-crisp the outside.
