Ingredients
-
1 pound
raw chicken breast, skinless, boneless
-
1/2 cup
dill pickle juice
-
2 tablespoons
heavy whipping cream
-
1 bag
Atkins Ranch Protein Chips
-
2 tablespoons
almond flour, super finely ground, gluten free
-
2 tablespoons
flaxseed meal
-
1/4 teaspoon
table salt
-
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper, ground
-
2 tablespoons
canola oil
Directions
-
In a resealable bag, marinate 1-inch cubes of chicken breast with pickle juice and heavy cream in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Into a flat bottom bowl, combine crushed chips, almond flour, flaxseed meal, salt and pepper. Drain chicken from the marinade, coat all sides of each chicken piece in the chip breading, place on a baking sheet or plate and spray both sides lightly with canola oil.
-
Warm an air fryer to 390° for 3 minutes. Spray air fryer basket with remaining canola oil and place breaded chicken cubes into the fryer in a single layer (cooking in batches if needed). Cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°, and nuggets are browned and crispy.

Divide into two equal portions and serve while warm.
