Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 cup okra sliced
  • 2 egg large-sized
  • 2 cup almond flour
  • 4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400F degrees, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Rinse and pat dry the chicken, use kitchen scissors to cut bite-sized pieces trimming the fat away. Prepare okra by slicing ends off and cutting half an inch size pieces.
  • Prepare two mixing bowls. In the first bowl whisk eggs, in the second bowl mix almond flour with smoked paprika and salt.
  • Add okra and chicken to the egg mixture and mix to coat well.
  • Carefully dip okra and chicken pieces in the flour mixture, taking only several pieces at once. Arrange on two baking sheets making sure pieces don’t touch and don’t overlap.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then take baking sheets and switch their places in the oven. Bake for 15 more minutes till dry and crispy, no need to turn pieces over. Once cooked,  serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

To make sure the chicken bites are soft and moist, I recommend using chicken thigh meat.
