What Ingredients do I Need for Baked Chicken Nuggets?
- 2 boneless, skinless Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions: How to Make Baked Chicken Nuggets
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth and set aside.
- In another shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each chicken cube into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the almond flour mixture. Press lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
- Place the coated chicken nuggets onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Spray the chicken nuggets lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up while baking.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with your choice of dipping sauce such as ketchup, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce.
