Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast tenders
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another dish, beat the two eggs until fully mixed. This will be your egg wash.
Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the chicken tender to the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the chicken to adhere well. Repeat the process for all tenders.
Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with olive oil spray to help them become crispy when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as is or with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
