Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, ground paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream until well combined.
Step 3
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want the oil to sizzle when a small piece of the coating is added.
Step 5
Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the chicken to adhere well.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry the chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 9
Allow the chicken tenders to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the crispy texture.
