Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast tenders
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another dish, beat the two eggs until fully mixed. This will be your egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Transfer the chicken tender to the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the chicken to adhere well. Repeat the process for all tenders.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 7
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with olive oil spray to help them become crispy when baked.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as is or with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
