Keto popcorn chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for those following a low-carb, high-fat diet. This recipe uses almond flour and a blend of herbs and spices to create a crispy coating for juicy chunks of chicken.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ONE cup almond flour
- ONE tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- TWO eggs
- TWO tbsp. heavy cream
- Avocado oil or coconut oil, for frying
Instructions:
- I took a shallow bowl and mixed together the black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, paprika, basil, salt, and almond flour.
- Then I took another shallow bowl and beat the heavy cream and together eggs.
- I dipped each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat in the almond flour mixture.
- Then I heated enough oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan.
- I fried the chicken pieces working in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they became golden brown and cooked through.
- You may drain the chicken on paper towels.
- Serve hot.
