Ingredients

  • 2 LBS. Chicken Breast Tenders
  • 4 Eggs Beaten
  • 1 Cup Tapioca Starch Arrowroot works too
  • 1 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp. Granulated Garlic
  • 1 tsp. Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. Rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp. Thyme
  • 1 Cup Coconut Oil (Divided)

Instructions

  • In 3 shallow bowls separate the almond flour, eggs, and starch.  
  • Add the salt, granulated garlic, paprika, pepper, rosemary, and thyme to the starch and whisk to distribute the seasonings evenly. 
  • Place your chicken tenders on a plate lined with paper towels. 
  • Heat 1/2 Cup of the Coconut Oil in a pan. About 350 degrees is your ideal temperature.
  • Dip your chicken tenders in this order: Almond Flour, Eggs, Starch. Repeat each tender. 
  • Place the tenders covered in batter in the hot oil and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Repeat until they are all done. 
  • Halfway through you will likely need to replace the oil with the remaining 1/2 cup. If the oil darkens too much then use a new pan with the new oil. 
  • Make a new plate lined with paper towels and set each cooked chicken strip on it to allow it the oil to drain. 
  • Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
