  • Author: Olivia Parker
  • Total Time: 44 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken tenders
– 1 cup almond flour
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray (for air frying)


Instructions

Creating Air Fryer Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken tenders and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
5. Arrange Tenders: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6. Air Fry: Cook the chicken tenders for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
7. Check for Doneness: If necessary, cook for additional 1-2 minutes until crispy.
8. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

These steps will ensure you create perfectly crispy and flavorful chicken tenders that everyone will love!
