Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup + 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  2. In a bowl combine ¼ cup almond flour, ½ cup coconut and salt & pepper. Mix to combine.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the ground chicken, ½ cup almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, egg yolk and salt & pepper. Mix well until everything is incorporated.

  4. In a sauté pan, melt coconut oil on medium heat. Take about 2 tablespoons worth of the chicken mixture and roll into a ball and then coat with the coconut and almond mixture. Repeat with the remaining chicken. You should make about 15 to 18 chicken nugget/balls.

  5. In small batches place nuggets into heated coconut oil and cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer balls to a parchment lined bake pan and place in oven for 4 to 5 minutes to allow the chicken to cook through. Repeat with the remaining chicken nuggets.
