It’s Friday, which means we’re watching movies and making these delicious low carb chicken nuggets tonight! I’m starting to think I have a problem because I cannot stop making and eating these (almost) carbless chicken nuggets. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, and have only 1g of carb per nugget! Since I’m currently eating low carb, meals like this make it so much easier. I could not live off asparagus, salami, and cheese sticks…
Low Carb Chicken Nuggets | 1g of Carb Per Nugget! | Gluten-Free | Dairy-Free | Keto | Whole30 | Paleo
These chicken nuggets take about five minutes to put together and twenty minutes to bake (or ten if you’re using the air fryer!) They have white meat in the center but are golden and crispy outside with the almond flour coating. 😋 It doesn’t matter how old you are; chicken nuggets are second to best next to pizza. Pizza is always my number one.
The last time I went to Chik-fil-a, I had them give me a ton of their sauce packets. Actually, I heard you could purchase their sauce on Amazon now! I may have to do that. But, dipping the chicken nuggets in the Chik-fil-a sauce has been pure heaven! 
You could also make these and top them with buffalo, barbeque, or any sauce you like to make a boneless wing style entree!
Speaking of, I’m going make a huge tray of these for the Superbowl with different sauces! They’ll be my boneless wing appetizer for game day. The funny part is I have no idea when/who is playing in the Superbowl. I’m just here for the commercials, the halftimes how, and the food.

I found these cute little food baskets at Hobby Lobby in the picnic section. They’re so fun to use for fries, burgers, hot dogs, and other summer style foods. I place parchment paper down first and then add the food. It also saves on dishes, too! 
I cannot wait to hear what you think of these carbless chicken nuggets! Make sure to tag me or come back and share your feedback! 😊 Have a wonderful weekend. Everyone!

Have a great weekend!
Ohhhh that is so good. My brother used to do that when we were little and I thought it was so gross 😆 But it’s so good!
ahHHH I started it today! I’m obsessed with MAFS!!!
Ah thank you for this! I had a moment the other night. Chex mix in the kitchen. I just had a cup and woke up feeling nauseous with a migraine the next day! I tend to forget what happens when I eat gluten, even a small amount. I haven’t been formally diagnosed with gluten issues, but that reaction was a worse feeling than keto flu or eating something with a lot of sugar. I think these chicken nuggets will satisfy that craving for something bread-y. CAnt wait to make them soon!
1. I’ll take Heinz ketchup any day!
2. Yes, please! I have to eat keto for insulin issues & endo.

Hi, Charmaine! ♥️
Yes, you definitely need to try these!!
Thanks for sharing the recipe, I can’t wait try them. Can you please share more low carb recipes or a day on the plate.
I’m in Australia, we don’t have chick fil a. I’ll try to make the sauce myself 😉
Hi, Mel!
Yes 😊 I am going to do a what I eat in a day low carb on Monday! xo
My 6 year old mini is going to LOVE these!! And for any southern gals, Publix sells the big bottles of CFA sauce 💗
what!!! i go to publix all the time and have never seen this!!!! going to today!!
Hi Taralynn, these look delicious! I just have a question for when I make them – when I buy ground chicken from the store, it’s kind of like just one big long strand, how do you break that up into tablespoon size? Are you cutting it up with a knife first? I hope this makes sense! It’s just not something that “pulls apart” easily into littler pieces so I’m not sure how to do that part. Thanks 🙂
Yes, would love more low-carb recipes. I have saved the last two you shared. We have two little boys with type 1 diabetes and love to find lower carb meal options. Thanks!!
I will definitely share more! I hope your boys enjoy these chicen nuggets!
I am writing down the ingredients for my grocery list, friend! These look amazing. I would love to see more low-carb recipes. My hubby is starting a new fitness regime today along with a low-carb diet, so these would be super helpful! I know I’m a few days late to when this actually was posted, but for tonight, The Bachelor seems like a good choice! 🙂

Thank you for sharing your photos with me!!! So happy you enjoyed them 😃
Hi, After watching the video of the recipe and reading the instructions, I’m confused on the amount you added to the ground chicken and then the amount used to roll them in. I could be missing something but the directions don’t say to mix the almond flour into the chicken. Or am I not reading it right.? Haha. I’m excited to make these. They look so easy and I know I’m going to love them!
Thank you very much!
Hi, Mandy!
The video was from the first time i made these! The instructions are from when i perfected them so they are different! 😊 I didn’t find adding all the ingredients into the chicken nuggets necessary!
How do you cook them in the air fryer? Thank you!! Can’t wait to try!
You would prepare them the same way and cook them for about 7-minutes at 360 on each side!
These were super yummy and I love that they have virtually no carbs! I want to try in the air fryer next time I make them to see if they get a little more crispy. I enjoy eating a lower carb diet because it makes me feel great, so I love that you are sharing more of those kinds of recipes! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed 😊
