Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Cooking spray or olive oil, for greasing

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly grease the lined baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, shaking off any excess, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly.
  4. Place the coated chicken nuggets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each nugget to ensure even cooking.
  5. Once all the chicken nuggets are arranged on the baking sheet, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
  6. Bake the chicken nuggets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
  7. Once cooked, remove the chicken nuggets from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
