Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix almond flour & seasonings together. Dip each tenderloin in the egg wash, followed by the almond flour mixture.
  • Place the chicken tenders on a lined baking sheet (no oil needed, but a light spray of olive oil will make them crispier).
  • Bake in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown & cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Air Fryer Instructions:

  • Place the tenders on the air fryer pan. Spray with olive oil spray for extra crispiness (optional). Air fry at 400 degrees F (in two separate batches if necessary) for about 10 minutes each batch. Flip the tenders at the halfway point.
