Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken tenders
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves

Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg.
Dip each chicken tender in the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Dredge the egg-coated chicken tenders in the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the chicken to adhere.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken tenders to the skillet.
Cook the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the cooked chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Prepare the sandwich by spreading mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the insides of the low-carb buns.
Layer lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the bottom half of each bun.
Place two crispy chicken tenders on each prepared bun, then top with the other half of the buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb crispy chicken tender sandwich.
