Ingredients
- 1 lb. Boneless, Skinless Chicken breast - Cut into nugget size pieces
- 1 Cup of Almonds
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese - finely grated
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Large Egg
- Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
- Olive Oil
Preparation
Step 1
Place almonds and parmesan cheese into a food processor and pulse until they are well blended and crumb-like.
Fork whisk the heavy cream, egg, and pinch of cayenne pepper to make your wash
Heat about an inch of oil over medium-high heat. I use a non-stick wok for frying. The high sides reduce splatter and clean up is a cinch.
Coat the chicken pieces in the breading, dredge in the egg wash, and then another coat of breading.
Fry the chicken in the oil until cooked all the way through and crispy on both sides. Try not to flip the nuggets too many times or you will lose your breading
Whenever I fry anything, I always place it on a paper plate or a paper towel afterward to soak up the excess grease.
