Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 3 large egg whites
- 120 grams almond flour
- 60 grams whey protein isolate (unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips resembling fries, about 1 cm wide and 5-7 cm long.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy.
Step 4
In another dish, combine the almond flour, whey protein isolate, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to adhere.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out and do not touch.
Step 7
Once all chicken fries are coated and arranged on the tray, lightly spray them with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the fries and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they are golden and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your High Protein Crispy Chicken Fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
