If you want to make Pecan Popcorn Chicken that is gluten-free, grain-free, and low in carbs, this is a great recipe for you. The chicken is covered in a crunchy mixture of pecan and almond flour, which makes it tasty and good for people who have to follow certain diets. As a meal or snack, it tastes great with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
Ingredients: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. 1 cup pecans, finely ground. 1/2 cup almond flour. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 2 large eggs. Cooking spray or oil for greasing. Optional: BBQ sauce or dipping sauce of choice gluten-free.
Instructions: Turn on your oven and heat it up to 425F 220C. Pulse the pecans in a food processor until they are very small and look like breadcrumbs. Place them in a shallow dish. Add the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to another shallow dish. Then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Combine well. Whisk the eggs in a third shallow dish until they are well mixed. First, coat each piece of chicken in the almond flour mixture. Next, dip it in the beaten eggs. Finally, cover it with the ground pecans and press it down gently to stick. Spread the chicken pieces out on a baking sheet that has been greased or lined with foil. The chicken should be cooked all the way through after 20 to 25 minutes in a hot oven. The coating should be crispy and golden brown. You can use your favorite gluten-free BBQ sauce or dipping sauce to go with the pecan popcorn chicken. Have fun!
