Some days I want nothing more than to eat like a kid, that’s why these low carb chicken nuggets are the BEST! They are gluten free, grain free and baked to perfection, so I can enjoy them anytime and still feel great afterwards You can serve them up with some sweet potato wedges for a full meal and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces! I like to make a big batch and store any leftover nuggets in the freezer (hello late night snack! )
Ingredients:
Nugget mixture:
2 lbs ground chicken
2 eggs
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Breading mixture:
1 cup + 1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp salt
3 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425° . In a large bowl, mix all of the nugget ingredients together and set aside. In another bowl, mix all of the breading ingredients together . Using a cookie scooper or your hands form into small nuggets and roll them in the breading mixture. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray the nuggets with a little oil and bake for 35-40 minutes flipping halfway through. I like to broil them for the last few minutes on high to get them nice and browned. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy! Makes about 26-30 nuggets. Store leftovers in the freezer and air fry when ready to eat!
Sweet potatoes wedges:
Cut sweet potatoes into small wedges. Add olive oil, seasonings like paprika, garlic powder salt, and pepper. Bake them with the nuggets at the same temperature/ time.
