Low Carb Mushroom Chicken Bites are typically a dish where chicken pieces are coated with a low-carb breading (often using almond flour or a similar substitute) and seasoned with herbs and spices. They are then cooked until crispy and served with a creamy mushroom sauce. It’s a flavorful and satisfying dish that’s lower in carbohydrates compared to traditional breaded chicken recipes.
Here’s a basic recipe for Low Carb Mushroom Chicken Bites:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup almond flour (or a low-carb flour of your choice)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Cooking oil spray (olive oil or coconut oil)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Mushroom Sauce:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken Bites:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the almond flour mixture.
- Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the chicken with cooking oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
- Make the Mushroom Sauce:
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the mushroom sauce.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms and garlic, sautéing until mushrooms are softened.
- Pour in chicken broth and let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced.
- Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve:
- Once the chicken bites are done baking, serve them hot with the mushroom sauce drizzled over or on the side.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
