Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
  • 2 1/4 cups toasted almond flour regular almond flour - just toasted
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil plus more as needed
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 eggs add more if needed

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, add eggs and beat them lightly. Set aside
  • In a medium bowl, add regular (not toasted) almond flour. Set aside
  • In a large bowl, add toasted almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cut chicken tenders into desired length and width for chicken nuggets. Mine were about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
  • In a large pan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. While it is heating up, start breading your nuggets.
  • I cooked about 10 at a time and would bread them all and then put them all in the pan at the same time.
  • Take a chicken chunk, dip in the almond flour for first coating.
  • Then dip in egg.
  • Then dip and coat with the toasted almond flour mixture. Set aside until you have enough to fill a pan.
  • Add chicken to hot pan. Fry 2-4 minutes per side until COMPLETELY cooked.
  • Serve warm!
