Keto Chicken Tenders are a deliciously crispy and low-carb alternative to traditional fried chicken, perfect for lunch or a quick snack. Coated with a savory almond flour and Parmesan mixture, these tenders are packed with flavor and nutrients while keeping carbs to a minimum.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Grated Parmesan cheese - 25 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the chicken breast into tenders, about 2.5 cm wide.
3. In a bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
5. Dip each chicken tender into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture.
6. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Drizzle the olive oil over the tenders to help them crisp up in the oven.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
