Ingredients
  

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 onion powder

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup coconut oil or avocado oil (for frying)

Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.

    Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese. In another bowl, beat the two eggs.

      Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken piece first into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture until fully coated. Place the breaded nuggets on a plate.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for frying.

          Fry the Nuggets: Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small crumb into the oil – if it bubbles, it's ready), carefully add the chicken nuggets in batches. Don’t overcrowd the pan! Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

            Drain and Cool: Remove the cooked nuggets using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

              Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauces such as sugar-free ketchup, ranch, or a spicy mayo.
