My non-low-carbing husband LOVES these chicken tenders! Like several of the recipes I’ve cooked over the years, he prefers them to high carb ones. I wanted to make a video of these to show you how easy they are – and with only a few ingredients!

In a bowl, combine almond flour, flaxseed meal, paprika, salt and pepper. The combination of the almond and flaxseed meal gives it a great texture and flavor, and the paprika adds a little color and spice! Beat a couple of eggs in a separate bowl.
Dip a chicken tenderloin into the egg, turn to coat, then drop it into the dry mixture. Coat it thoroughly then place it on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with some low carb ketchup: I like both Heinz Reduced Sugar Ketchup (1g net carbs per tablespoon) and Walden Farms Ketchup (0g net carbs per tablespoon)!
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- ¼ tsp paprika
- salt and pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 lb chicken tenderloin about 8

I can’t easily buy almond flour in the UK – would almond meal (ground almonds) be an acceptable substitute for this recipe?
Yes I should think that would work well!
The font color you are using is too light, hard to read. Is it possible to use black rather than the light gray?
Thank you.
it says 3.2 carbs but then in the nutritional info it says 10 carbs… which is it?
Julie it is 10g total carbs but you minus the fiber (7g) to get the net carbs (3g) – which is what many people count. Read this for a full explanation: https://stepawayfromthecarbs.com/net-carbohydrates-mean/
What is the best way to reheat these chicken tenders? Even half a recipe is too much for one person.
Gah – sorry! I’ve never had to reheat them as my family of three always devour them in one meal! I wonder if anyone else has done this? If not I’ll try reheating one next time I make them!
