Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1.25 pounds chicken tenderloins 565 g, or breasts cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) strips
2 large eggs beaten
1 cup almond flour 96 g
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan 50 g
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil in a spray bottle or mister

Method

Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken dry. Put the eggs in one shallow dish and mix the almond flour, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in another.
Dip each strip in the egg, let the excess drip off, then press it firmly into the almond mixture.
Arrange the tenders in a single layer without touching and spray lightly with oil. Cook in batches if needed for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and 165°F (74°C) inside.

Notes

Pre-grated Parmesan can contain anti-caking additives, so check the label. Serve with mustard or a yogurt-herb dip. Nutrition values are rough estimates.
