Ingredients

1 pound skinless chicken breast fillets chopped into bite sized pieces

1 cup almond flour

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp celery salt

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 large eggs whisked

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, add your smoked paprika, celery salt, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, and mix well. In a separate bowl, add your eggs and whisk them together.

3. Begin a process of dipping the chicken into the egg mixture, followed by the spice mixture, ensuring the chicken pieces are all fully coated before setting on the baking pan. Repeat the process until all the chicken is used up.

4. Bake the chicken for 20-22 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

Add extra salt and pepper, to taste.

TO STORE: Leftover nuggets must be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. Do not keep any longer, otherwise there is the risk of the chicken going bad. 

TO FREEZE: Once the nuggets have cooled, place them in a ziplock bag or shallow container. You can then store them in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. 

TO REHEAT: I do not recommend reheating in the microwave, otherwise, you will lose the crispiness. I recommend either re-heating in the oven/air fryer or even in a non-stick pan.
