Ingredients

1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch thick strips
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup pork rinds, crushed into fine crumbs
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup avocado oil or olive oil, for frying

Method

1

Pat chicken strips dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.

2

In a shallow dish, whisk together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the beaten eggs and almond milk.

4

In a third shallow dish, combine the crushed pork rinds and coconut flour.

5

Dip each chicken strip first into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.

6

Next, dredge the chicken strip in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

7

Then, dip it back into the egg mixture briefly.

8

Finally, coat the chicken strip thoroughly in the pork rind and coconut flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

9

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.

10

Once the oil is hot, carefully place chicken tenders in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.

11

Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit).

12

Remove cooked tenders from the skillet and place them on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain excess oil.

13

Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
