Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the low-carb coating mixture.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then coat the egg-covered chicken strip in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the coating evenly.
Heat the avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the chicken strips to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fried chicken fingers to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or on a bed of fresh greens.
