Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or other preferred seasonings
  • Cooking oil for frying (such as olive oil or avocado oil)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut Chicken:
    • Cut the chicken breasts or thighs into bite-sized nugget pieces.
  3. Season Chicken:
    • Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer.
  4. Bake:
    • Place the seasoned chicken nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the nuggets are cooked through and have a golden exterior.
  5. Optional: Broil for Crispiness:
    • If you want a crispier texture, you can broil the nuggets for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the low-carb chicken nuggets with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.

Notes:

  • Be mindful of the seasoning ingredients, as some blends may contain small amounts of carbohydrates.
  • You can also experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor without adding carbs.
