Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with additional cooking spray.
Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the tenders and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken tenders from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete keto meal.
