- Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture. Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Chicken: Lightly spray the chicken pieces with cooking spray to help them get crispy. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is baking, make the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, low-carb sweetener, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), garlic powder, and ginger powder. Whisk together and bring to a simmer over medium heat. If you want a thicker sauce, you can sprinkle in the xanthan gum and whisk until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Once the chicken is done baking, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve: Serve your keto sweet and sour chicken hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
