Low Carb Mushroom Chicken Bites

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Enjoy your Low Carb Mushroom Chicken Bites! They’re deliciously crunchy and packed with flavor while being low in carbs.
