Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs and heavy cream together until well mixed.
Step 4
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Dip each chicken tender first in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
Step 6
Repeat the process for all chicken tenders.
Step 7
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Step 8
Place a single layer of coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd them.
Step 9
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with cooking spray to help with browning and crispiness.
Step 10
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 12
Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or a side salad.
