Ingredients
Scale
1 pound chicken breast (chopped into bite sized pieces)
2 large eggs (whisked)
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup keto bread crumbs (or almond flour)
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add your celery salt, salt, and pepper, and whisk together with the eggs. Add the chopped chicken and mix well so all the chicken is coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Parmesan cheese and keto bread crumbs.
- Add the chicken pieces in the dry mix, ensuring all sides are completely coated.
- Place the breaded chicken on the lined tray and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Remove the nuggets from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place the breaded nuggets on a wire rack set on the baking sheet.
- To make this dairy-free, omit the Parmesan and use an extra 3 tablespoons of almond flour or keto breadcrumbs.
- Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or toaster oven to maintain the crispy texture.
