Check out this baked chicken tenders recipe!
Chicken tenders are THE ultimate game day food, but really, most of us enjoy the year-round. However, the one thing about regular chicken tenders is so often, and they are breaded which means a ton of carbs! If you've been searching for a way to still get your chicken tender fix while still keeping it keto, then you've come to the right place!
In this recipe, it's all about the flour. Regular white flour is loaded with unnecessary carbs, and it doesn't actually add much to the recipe. By using almond flour, you cut the carbs without sacrificing the flavor or texture. It's really that simple!
The burst of flavor found in this meal is made possible by the blend of paprika and a little salt and pepper. It's hard to believe that those are the only spices. This just proves that you don't need complexity to get that amazing taste you're going for! Sometimes less really is more.
Whether you're preparing for a game day or simply want some chicken tenders for lunch or dinner, choose this healthier option. You can keep it keto AND delicious by making a few basic changes to a recipe you already love. Plus, baking instead of frying the chicken tenders means that you are a bit more mindful of your diet.
