Ingredients
  

  • 16 Boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
  • 1 c. Almond flour
  • ½ tsp. Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Chili powder
  • 1 tsp. Cumin
  • 1 tsp. Garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Beaten egg
  • ½ c. Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 -3 oz. of Pork rinds crushed into fine crumbs
  • Coconut or avocado oil

Instructions
 

  • Pat all of the chicken tenders dry with some paper towels.
  • On one plate, place 1 cup of almond flour.
  • To the almond flour, add in the paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to distribute the herbs and spices throughout the almond flour.
  • In a shallow bowl add ½ cup of heavy whipping cream to 1 beaten egg. Mix to combine them well.
  • On a separate plate, place 1 cup of finely crushed pork rinds. You can use a food processor to crush the pork rinds into crumbs, or you can place them into a Ziploc bag, and use a rolling pin to crush them.
  • Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture on both sides.
  • Continue by dipping the chicken tenders into the cream and egg mixture.
  • Finally, roll the chicken tenders into the crushed pork rind crumbs.
  • Heat up several inches of coconut or avocado oil in a large skillet. Use a thermometer to heat the oil to 350 degrees.
  • Place the chicken tenders into the oil 3 pieces at a time. Rotate them with some tongs halfway through cooking, maintaining the oil temperature at 325-350 degrees. Cook the tenders until the chicken is cooked through and they are browned and crispy.
  • Repeat step 10 until all of the chicken tenders have been cooked.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
