Ingredients
- 1 Lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (cut into 1" nuggets)
- 1 Large Egg (beaten)
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions
Prep ingredients:
- Cut chicken breast into nuggets.
- Lightly beat egg in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder and chili powder.
- Preheat air fryer at 400ºF for 5 minutes.
- While air fryer is preheating prepare nuggets.
- Coat chicken nuggets bites in egg then dredge in almond flour mixture. Once all nuggets are coated in flour, dredge a second time.
- Evenly layer nuggets in oiled air fryer basket and air fry at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Give them a shake about half way through cooking time. (I usually break the largest nugget apart to check for doneness) Do Not Forget To Oil The Basket!

Notes
This recipe yields approximately 12 nuggets - 2 servings.
If doubling this recipe, nuggets need to be air fried in 2 separate batches to ensure a crisp outer coating.
These are best eaten fresh. If reheating, air fry for 2 minutes at 400ºF to crisp back up.
