Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each chicken breast lengthwise into approximately 1-inch wide strips.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Next, dredge the egg-coated chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing it onto the chicken to adhere.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the chicken strips with olive oil or avocado oil on both sides to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove from oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a keto-friendly dipping sauce of your choice, such as ranch or a spicy mayo.
