Keto Chicken Nuggets

The best childhood favorite meal made keto friendly!

Easy Keto Homemade Chicken Nuggets Recipe

chicken breast

eggs

almond flour

mozzarella cheese (shredded)

chives (chopped)

parsley (chopped)

sea salt

black pepper

olive oil

Place the chicken breast in a large pot with enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil and cook on medium to high heat for 10-15 minutes.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with 2 forks or place it in a stand mixer and turn it on low speed to shred the chicken breasts.

After the chicken is shredded, place it into a large bowl.

Next, stir in almond flour, eggs, mozzarella, basil, chives, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

In a large non-stick pan, add oil and heat over medium-low heat. Use an ice cream scoop, cookie scoop, or a large spoon to scoop the chicken mixture. Form into the shape of a chicken nugget and transfer it to the pan. Be sure to not overcrowd the pan as it will be harder to flip them. It is best to cook them in batches.

Fry until golden brown on both sides for about 6-8 minutes. Keep in mind that you need to cook them at medium-low temp, otherwise they will burn on the outside but won't get well cooked on the inside.

Serve with keto homemade ranch and your favorite side salad, zucchini chips or lazy keto chips!

These gluten free chicken nuggets are so easy to make. A great alternative to commercial chicken nugget being egg and dairy free as well means they are perfect for kids with allergies.

Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

chicken (breast, tenderloins

coconut milk (80 ml coconut milk

Third cup ground almonds (35

onion powder (optional)

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces.

Pour the coconut cream/milk into a bowl  or dish large enough to hold the chicken. If you are using the onion powder, mix this through the coconut milk/cream.

Soak in the coconut milk/cream. If possible leave the chicken to soak in fridge for 30 mins or overnight (although however long you have is fine)

Drain the excess coconut milk/cream, if you used a thick coconut cream there may not be any additional liquid to drain

Roll the coconut milk soaked chicken pieces in the ground almonds

Place on a baking paper-lined tray. Bake in a hot oven 200 degrees Celsius, 400 Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes turn the pieces once golden on one side (. The side that is sitting on the baking paper will be the side going brown,  turning  helps to make both sides  golden and crispy. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

Easy Keto Chicken Nuggets are low-carb, gluten-free, oven-baked, or air-fried crisp chicken nuggets made with canned chicken breasts.

Easy Keto Chicken Nuggets

chicken breast (drained)

Shredded Cheddar (Jack, or Mozzarella Cheese)

Parmesan Cheese

Garlic Powder

⅛ -¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Preheat oven and line baking tray.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220℃) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Drain chicken.

Open and drain the canned chicken. Place chicken in a fine mesh strainer and push out the liquid with your hands to remove as much excess moisture as possible.

Mix all ingredients.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together all the ingredients until combined.

Form nuggets.

Use your hands or a tablespoon to mold the chicken mixture together into nugget shapes on the prepared baking sheet (I made 14 nuggets). Use the back of a spoon to flatten the nuggets lightly.

Bake.

Bake for 20-22 minutes, flipping them over with a spatula turner halfway through the cooking time.

Oven Directions

Oil or grease basket.

Spritz the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Mix and form nuggets.

Follow steps 2-4 from above and add the nuggets to the air fryer basket instead of the baking sheet.

Air fry.

Air fry at 400°F(200℃) for 10-14 minutes until golden brown. Check them at 10 minutes, and if they are not browned and crisp enough, put them back in for 2-4 minutes or more (you may need to do these in batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket).

Air Fryer Directions

If you’re strict keto, calculate your macros first. These are low carb, high protein, I’m not sure where you’re getting the fat, other than the cheese. My macros for this meal were 1.6g carbs(2%), 12.5g fat(40%), and 40g protein(57%) 1 serving being 6 nuggets. Keto is more like 5% carbs, 70% fat, and about 25% protein. Any excess protein will be converted to carbs. Also, I doubled the recipe and it made 24 nuggets, and they are pretty small. Anyway, I had to make an avocado dipping sauce and it got my macros back on track. Thanks!!! Overall taste is good, kiddo said “taste like chicken”

This was SO easy, crispy and delicious! So happy to make homemade nuggets for the kiddos instead of popping the frozen kind in the microwave like I normally do. Thanks for sharing!

These chicken nuggets look amazingly delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Made these when our neighbors came over and they were a hit! Even the kids liked them!

Easy and I love that it's Keto. thanks for this recipe
