Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast tenders
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup olive oil
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the dry coating mix.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and add unsweetened almond milk, creating the wet mixture.
Pat the chicken breast tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each chicken tender first into the wet mixture and then roll it in the dry coating mix, ensuring it is fully coated. Set aside on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the chicken tenders into the hot oil, cooking them in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken fingers hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
