How to Make Low Carb Paprika Chicken Bites
Mix together almond flour, flaxseed meal, and paprika in a bowl. Add an egg to a different bowl and beat it lightly with a fork.

Dunk each piece of chicken into the paprika "breading" mixture, and turn to coat. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat, foil, or parchment paper.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve with any vegetable side dish, salad, or shirataki rice. Or you could even put the chicken bites in a low carb tortilla!
