Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into strips approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 5

Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken strips in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Fry the chicken strips for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Transfer the fried chicken strips to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10 minutes to finish cooking through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Low Carb Crispy Chicken Sticks warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy as a snack or pair with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
