These oven-baked chicken tenders are coated with a flavorful mixture of almond flour and Parmesan cheese, providing a crispy texture without the carbs from traditional breadcrumbs. They’re perfect for a healthy meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water to create an egg wash.
  3. In another bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
  4. Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the Parmesan-almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
  5. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. For extra crispiness, you can broil the tenders for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • These chicken tenders are gluten-free and keto-friendly.
  • Serve with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as sugar-free ketchup, ranch dressing, or a spicy mayo.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
