Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs chicken tenders
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Tip: For extra crispiness, place a wire rack on the baking sheet.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Tip: For more flavor, add 1/2 tsp onion powder.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Tip: Add 1 tbsp water to thin the eggs slightly for easier coating.
  4. Dip each chicken tender in egg, then coat thoroughly in almond mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet. Tip: Press coating gently to help it adhere.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Tip: Flip halfway through for even browning.
