Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil or avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into strips, approximately the size of chicken tenders.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly mix the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the heavy cream, whisking until you have a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off back into the bowl.

Step 5

Then, transfer the chicken strip to the bowl with the almond flour mixture and coat it thoroughly, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well. Repeat for all chicken strips.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small pinch of almond flour into it. If it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the skillet. You might need to cook them in batches.

Step 8

Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
