Gluten Free Homemade Chicken Nuggets
These are so delicious and made with only healthy ingredients. They are best when made in the air fryer and they're gluten free!
Equipment
- cutting board
- knife
- Baking Pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken cut into bite size pieces
- 1 Cup Greek Yogurt Plain
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoon garlic salt Lawry's
Instructions
- First gather everything you need, cut about 1 pound of chicken up into bite size pieces or chicken nugget size pieces.
- In one bowl, add 1 cup of plain greek yogurt. In another bowl add in 1 Cup of Almond Flour, 2 teaspoon lawry’s garlic salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon paprika. Mix well.
- Coat the small pieces of chicken with the yogurt mixture. I dip several in at a time to coat them.
- Then Roll them around in your almond flour mixture. Make sure they are coated really well.
- Spread them out on a parchment paper lined baking sheer. You don’t want the breading to stick to anything.
- Air fry at 375° for about 20 minutes or until the internal temp of the chicken reaches at least 165. I like to make mine a little bit crispy so it feels more like a chicken nugget. This will take a few minutes longer.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve while they are hot. Enjoy!
Notes
Leftovers
These will store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 2 days. When reheating, use an air fryer so that they will get crispy again. The microwave messes up the texture.
