Chicken Nuggets II

Chicken Nuggets II
This recipe is called Chicken Nuggets II because, well, because I already have a CHICKEN NUGGET recipe posted.  There are tons of ways to make chicken nuggets so it's great to try different ways and see what appeals most to your family.  My family really liked this one, with no mention of it being odd or "not normal" chicken nuggets.  They just scarfed them down while saying that they were good.  I don't think they realized that they were made with any type of specialty ingredients.  It's also nice to get some extra fiber in their diets by using golden flax.

4 STARS
4 servings
6 net carbs per serving

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup frying oil of your choice
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup golden flax mill
1 tsp Splenda (or sweetener of choice)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoning salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried parsley
pepper to taste

Cut chicken breasts into one inch cubes.  Pre-heat frying oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.  While pre-heating, mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.  Add chicken chunks and mix well to ensure all sides of each chicken chunk is coated.  Add chicken to hot skillet in a single layer (cook chicken in batches if needed).  Turn chicken after 4-5 minutes or golden brown until all sides are golden.

  4. Thanks for a great recipe:-) made it for supper tonight and my family who is anti low carb loved it! They didnt know either that it was low carb and when I confessed said it tasted better than breadcrumbs/cornflakes breading mix. Must say I was tempted to add some almond meal/flour but it is great as it is.

    1. I'm glad everyone liked it! My carb-etarian family are the ultimate critics and they approved as well. I'm sure they would be great with some almond meal mixed in, I'm just running low so being a little frugal with mine.
