Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.
In another shallow dish, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken strip first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the chicken strips with melted coconut oil or avocado oil to help them brown and crisp during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or a fresh salad.
