Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 3 large egg whites
- 120 grams almond flour
- 60 grams whey protein isolate (unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips resembling fries, about 1 cm wide and 5-7 cm long.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy.
In another dish, combine the almond flour, whey protein isolate, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure seasonings are evenly distributed.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out and do not touch.
Once all chicken fries are coated and arranged on the tray, lightly spray them with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the fries and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they are golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your High Protein Crispy Chicken Fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
