Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast tenders
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the dry coating mix.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs and add unsweetened almond milk, creating the wet mixture.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breast tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Dip each chicken tender first into the wet mixture and then roll it in the dry coating mix, ensuring it is fully coated. Set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Carefully place the chicken tenders into the hot oil, cooking them in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 8

Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the crispy chicken fingers hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
