Equipment

air fryer
2 Small Low Bowls For Breading Chicken Tenders

Ingredients

1 + lb chicken tenders 7-8 tenders in a package
1 egg
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.
You’ll need 2 small, low dishes to bread the chicken. In the first add the egg and beat it in the dish. In the 2nd dish, add the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic salt, ground black pepper, and paprika and mix them together.
Dip a chicken tender first in the egg, making sure to dip it on each side and let the excess egg drip back into the bowl.
Next, dip the chicken tender in the almond flour parmesan mix, making sure to coat it well on both sides. Continue dipping the rest of the chicken tenders in the egg wash and coating mix.
Add the chicken to the air fryer and spritz the top side of the chicken with olive oil.
Air fry the chicken for a total of 8-9 minutes, after 4 minutes, flip the chicken over spritz the other side of the chicken with olive oil. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Eat them as is or dip them in your favorite sauce!

Notes

Optional dipping sauces include low carb BBQ sauce like Primal Kitchen, low carb Ranch, mustard, sugar-free ketchup.

Vary the recipe by using a chicken rub seasoning, Italian seasoning, or whatever your favorite seasoning is!

Shredded parmesan can be used in place of the grated, but the grated will stick better.
If you don’t have an oil spritzer, carefully brush oil on the chicken tenders or use Sam’s Club Olive Oil Cooking Spray

If you’re a garlic lover, sprinkle a little more garlic salt over the top after cooking.

To bake the chicken tenders, follow the assembly steps, and instead of air frying, bake them in a 400F oven for 10 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes until the internal temperature is safe to take out
