Delicious and crispy baked keto chicken tenders coated with seasoned almond flour, perfect for a low-carb, high-protein meal that’s easy to prepare and oven-baked to golden perfection.

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. Seasoning: Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Also, season the almond flour generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor of the coating.
  3. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat one large egg together with one tablespoon of heavy whipping cream until well combined.
  4. Coating: Dip each chicken tender first in the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly in the seasoned almond flour. For an even coating, place the tenders and almond flour in a Tupperware container or Ziploc bag and shake gently to ensure they are fully covered.
  5. Baking: Arrange 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.
  6. Optional Broiling: If you prefer extra crispiness, broil the tenders for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Cooling: Allow the chicken tenders to cool for 5 minutes before serving to let coatings set and prevent burns.
  8. Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, ensuring they remain fresh for snacking or meals.

Notes

  • You can use a Ziploc bag or Tupperware container to coat the chicken tenders evenly.
  • Broiling for a few minutes after baking adds extra crispiness to the coating.
  • Make sure to preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
  • These tenders are great served with keto-friendly dipping sauces like ranch or sugar-free BBQ sauce.
  • For best results, use fresh almond flour rather than almond meal.
