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

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. In another shallow dish, whisk the beaten eggs and water until smooth.
  5. Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake the chicken tenders for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze cooked tenders for up to 3 months.
