Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken strips in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the chicken strips for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer the fried chicken strips to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10 minutes to finish cooking through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Low Carb Crispy Chicken Sticks warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy as a snack or pair with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
