  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
  • 1 lb chicken tenders or chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 23 tbsp neutral oil for pan-frying

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (if baking).
  2. Season the chicken tenders and dredge in beaten eggs.
  3. Press the chicken strips into the seasoned almond flour mixture.
  4. If baking, place tenders on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.

For extra crunch, you can mix pork rinds or gluten-free panko with the almond flour. Serve with various dipping sauces for flavor options.
