Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until completely combined to form an egg wash.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to cover the chicken evenly with the breading.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Lightly spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray to encourage browning and crisping.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the crust turns golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from oven and let the tenders rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes to ensure optimal crispness.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of low-carb sauces or sides.
