Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into tenders
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
  3. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water until combined.
Coating and Baking
  1. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
  2. Dredge the chicken tender in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it’s fully coated.
  3. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

These tenders can be stored in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture. For storage, they can be frozen for 2-3 months. A mix of almond and coconut flour can be used for a different flavor.
