Keto Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

Keto Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

I’d be happy to share a recipe for keto air fryer chicken nuggets! These are delicious, low-carb, and perfect for a quick meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Avocado oil spray for the air fryer

Instructions:

1. In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
3. Dip each piece of chicken first in the egg, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil.
6. Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to cook in batches).
7. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Serve with keto-friendly dipping sauce like ranch or sugar-free BBQ sauce.

These nuggets have approximately 2g net carbs per serving and are perfect for keto meal prep. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer for about 3-4 minutes at 350°F.
