Ingredients
  

  • 2 Chicken breasts cut into 2 inch cubes I like Greensbury
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon buffalo sauce I like The New Primal
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Pat your chicken cubes dry with a paper towel and them set aside. Cover a sheet pan with foil and grease it with cooking spray (I like avocado spray best).
  • Mix 2 tablespoon buffalo sauce and one whisked egg together in one bowl. In another bowl mix almond flour, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper together.
  • One nugget at a time- dip in egg mixture, then right into the almond flour mixture. Be sure the chicken nugget is completely covered in almond flour and place on your sheet pan. Repeat until all of the nuggets are coated.
  • Put the nuggets in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Serve with some extra buffalo sauce and ranch. Enjoy!
