Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces chicken tenders
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 for coating olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
In another shallow bowl or dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until smooth.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the chicken from the egg mixture into the almond flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the chicken to coat it fully. Repeat this process for all chicken tenders.
Place the breaded chicken tenders onto the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce or a side salad.
