Ingredients

  • 10-12 Chicken Tenders
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning (see recipe note below)
  • 2 tsp. Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air fryer to 400º F.

  2. Remove the tendon from the chicken tenders if you prefer to do so.

  3. Get two shallow bolws that are large enough to dip the chicken tenders in. In one bowl, scramble the 2 eggs. In the other, mix together the 1 cup of almond flour, 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning, 2 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.

  4. Dip each chicken tender in the egg and the roll in the almond flour/ seasoning mixture.

  5. Lay the tenders in the basket of the air fryer, leaving some space between them. Work in batches if it's too crowded.

  6. Bake at 400º F for 5-7 mins per side (total of about 10-14 mins)

  7. Add them to your favorite salad, sandwich or dip them in your favorite sauce! Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • I know some people aren't a fan of Italian Seasoning so you could swap it for dried parsley.
  • These could also be baked in the oven at 400º F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
