Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Cooking spray or olive oil, for baking

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Breading: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Set Up the Egg Wash: In another bowl, whisk the two eggs until they are frothy.

        Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Then, roll the chicken pieces in the almond flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the coated nuggets on the prepared baking sheet.

          Spray for Crispiness: Lightly spray the coated chicken nuggets with cooking spray or drizzle a bit of olive oil over them to help achieve a nice crispy texture while baking.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the nuggets are golden brown and cooked through. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even crispness.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the nuggets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauces!
