Make these kid-approved ground chicken nuggets in a skillet!
Ingredients
For the nuggets:
- 1 pound ground chicken or ground turkey
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
For the "breading":
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg, whisked
Directions
1
Mix all of the chicken nugget ingredients together. It's helpful to use a potato masher.
2
In a separate small bowl, mix the dry "breading" ingredients together, leaving out the egg and olive oil.
3
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on the stove over medium heat.
4
Grease hands first with oil, then roll ground meat into 20 smaller "meatball" shapes.
5
Dip each ball into whisked egg, and then roll through coating.
6
Place meatballs in frying pan. Fry for about 3 minutes per side. (I pressed mine a little so they looked more like nuggets.)
7
Once done, cool slightly on a plate lined with a paper towel. Serve with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce. Enjoy!
