Delicious and crispy baked keto chicken tenders coated in seasoned almond flour for a low-carb, gluten-free meal that’s perfect for a quick dinner or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast Tenders

Breading

  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Egg Wash

  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the chicken tenders.
  2. Season Ingredients: Season the chicken breast tenders with salt and pepper evenly. Also, season the almond flour generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor of the coating.
  3. Prepare Egg Wash: In a bowl, beat the egg together with the heavy whipping cream until well combined to create an egg wash.
  4. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash first, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dredge the tenders in the seasoned almond flour. For an easy coating, you can place the tenders and almond flour in a Tupperware container or Ziploc bag and shake to coat evenly.
  5. Bake Chicken Tenders: Place the coated tenders on a lightly greased baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. For extra crispiness, broil the tenders for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the tenders from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the coating sets and to avoid burning your mouth.
  7. Storage: Store any leftover chicken tenders in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use almond flour instead of regular flour to keep this recipe keto-friendly and gluten-free.
  • The addition of heavy whipping cream to the egg wash helps the coating stick better and adds moisture.
  • For a spicier kick, add paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper to the almond flour seasoning.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • If you prefer extra crunchy tenders, broiling at the end is recommended.
