- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1 inch wide for even cooking.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Spray the chicken strips lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat and drizzle it lightly over the chicken strips for added flavor and crispiness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious Whole30 crispy baked chicken strips with your favorite Whole30-approved dipping sauce.
