Keto Drive-Thru Chicken Nuggets
Chicken nuggets from your favorite drive-thru can be really nostalgic, and you can create that same feeling at home while staying healthy. No empty fillers are added to the chicken, and no frying oil is needed here. Whip up a batch for meal prepping or to fill up your whole family.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper – set this aside. In a food processor, pulse together the chicken breast, salt, pepper, onion powder, and the first amounts of almond flour and parmesan. Pulse until the chicken is bound together like a dough.
Step 2
Create approximately 20, 1-tablespoon chicken nuggets. Roll each portion into a ball and then gently flatten to a ½-inch thick disc. Once all nuggets are formed, set them in your freezer temporarily, but no longer than 10 minutes. They should not be frozen for this recipe.
Step 3
Whisk together the eggs in a small bowl. Also, combine the final amounts of almond flour and parmesan together on a wide plate.
Step 4
Pull the chicken nuggets from the freezer. Once by one, dip each nugget into the egg and then roll in the dry breading mixture. Let any excess egg run off each nugget before coating in breading.
Step 5
Bake the tray for 45-50 minutes, flipping the nuggets about 30 minutes in. You can break off any crispy parmesan edges, or you can enjoy those with your nuggets.
