Ingredients (Serves 2):

1 large chicken breast (200g), cut into bite-sized chunks

4–5 tbsp ground almond flour (~32g)

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp sweet paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

Sea salt & black pepper, to taste

Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan) / 430°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Cut the chicken breast into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.

Mix the ground almond flour, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne in a shallow bowl.

Toss the chicken pieces in the dry mix until fully coated.

Arrange the nuggets on the tray in a single layer, spaced apart.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (juices should run clear).

Serve hot, with your choice of sides — or just enjoy as they are.
