Air Fryer Chicken Tenders: An Incredible Low-Carb and Gluten-Free Recipe

  • Total Time: 24 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken tenderloins
– 1 cup almond flour
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray or olive oil (optional)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Air Fryer Chicken Tenders:

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready when you are.
2. Prepare Chicken: Rinse the chicken tenderloins under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
3. Create Breading Station: In a bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Dip each tenderloin in the egg mixture first, allowing excess egg to drip off. Then, dredge it into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching for even cooking. Lightly spray with cooking spray if desired.
6. Cook: Air fry for 8-10 minutes. Flip the tenders halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If necessary, return to the air fryer for a few more minutes.
8. Let Rest: Once cooked, allow the tenders to rest for a couple of minutes prior to serving.

These easy-to-follow steps will yield tender, flavorful chicken tenders that everyone will appreciate.
