Equipment

Air Fryer
Two shallow dishes
Whisk

Ingredients

1 pound chicken tenderloins approx. 450g
1 cup almond flour 96g
1 tsp paprika 2g
½ tsp garlic powder 1g
½ tsp onion powder 1g
½ tsp salt 2g
¼ tsp ground black pepper 0.5g
1 large egg
1 tbsp heavy cream 15ml
Cooking spray for air fryer basket

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and heavy cream together until well combined.
Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the coated chicken tenderloins in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch for even cooking.
Cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

For extra flavor, add your favorite herbs to the almond flour mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, include a pinch of cayenne pepper. Remember, cooking times may vary based on the air fryer model, so adjust accordingly.
