Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 500g, cut into 1-inch thick strips

Almond flour: 1 cup (approximately 112g)

Grated Parmesan cheese: ½ cup (approximately 50g)

Pork rind crumbs: ½ cup (approximately 30g)

Egg: 1 large

Heavy cream: 2 tablespoons (30ml)

Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon (approximately 3g)

Onion powder: 1 teaspoon (approximately 3g)

Paprika: ½ teaspoon (approximately 1.5g)

Salt: ½ teaspoon (approximately 3g), or to taste

Black pepper: ¼ teaspoon (approximately 1g), or to taste

Avocado oil or coconut oil: for frying

Cooking Instructions

    1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken strips dry with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better and ensurescrispiness.

    2. Set up the breading station: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, pork rind crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg and heavy cream together.

    3. Bread the chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the coating sticks. Repeat the breading process for a double coating if desired for extracrispiness.

    4. Fry the chicken: Heat a generous amount of avocado oil or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle gently when a breaded chicken strip is added.

    5. Cook the chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

    6. Remove and drain: Remove the cooked chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. This will help maintain theircrispiness.

      Pro Tip:

      For an evencrispiertexture, try baking the breaded chicken tenders in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

      Variation:

      Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the almond flour mixture for a spicy kick. You could also experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking.

      Servings & Cook Time

      Servings: Approximately 4 servings

      Prep time: 15 minutes

      Cook time: 15 minutes

      Enjoy a healthier, happier life with the simple goodness of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
