Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Ground almonds
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Honey mustard sauce (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized strips or chunks.

Step 3

Prepare three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with two beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of ground almonds, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 4

Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the almond and breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks to the chicken.

Step 5

Place the coated chicken pieces on the lined baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken pieces to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the appetizers cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Serve warm with honey mustard sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
