Keto Crunchy Pecan Chicken Tenders
How to Make It
Step 1
Crack the egg into a bowl. Beat until smooth. Add the ground almonds, chopped pecans, cinnamon, salt and pepper to a separate bowl. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Arrange the chicken pieces across a clean work surface. Dip each chicken strip in egg so that it is well coated. Then, dredge the egg coated chicken pieces in the nut mixture until breaded all over. Press the chicken firmly into the breading to ensure it sticks.
Step 3
Arrange the breaded chicken pieces across the lined oven tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until completely cooked through and no longer pink. The crumb should be crisp and golden. Serve hot with your preferred Keto sides.
