Instructions

Preheat air fryer @400°F for 5 minutes.
Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add in the pork panko, almond flour, parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic salt and ground black pepper. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl, then dip each piece of chicken into the egg, allowing any excess to run off.
Dip the chicken into the breading mixture, lightly covering all side. Don’t press into the breading, you are just looking for a light coating.
Add each breaded nugget into the air fryer basket that’s been sprayed with olive oil. Generously spray the nuggets with olive oil.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping and respraying with more olive oil. The nuggets are cooked when they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F, when checked with a meat thermometer.
