Chicken tenders are something we have in our house. A lot. But since starting Keto, I’m not able to buy them at the grocery store already made. So I wanted something simple I could make and reheat in the air fryer.
These chicken tenders were super easy to make and everyone loved them! I love when I don’t need 1,001 ingredients for supper. And I only needed 7 for these! Everything I used were staples I always have in my kitchen. The chicken, eggs, heavy cream, coconut powder, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
I beat a couple eggs in a container, added the HWC and put the chicken in to ‘soak’.
While the chicken marinaded, I mixed up the rest of the ingredients in a shallow dish and heated up some oil in pan.
Once the oil was hot, I took the chicken out of the HWC mixture, dredged in my flour, and placed in the hot oil until browned and the chicken was cooked through. Then drained on paper towel.
That’s it! So easy, my 6 year old could do it!
