Both my gluten-free husband and picky son LOVE these chicken tenders! They only require a few ingredients and they bake up so wonderfully. Tasty, delicious, and of course low carb!

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 or a wire rack. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or 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)! Check out my full list of low carb ketchup options – both homemade and store bought!

June 6, 2017 at 3:20 amI can’t easily buy almond flour in the UK – would almond meal (ground almonds) be an acceptable substitute for this recipe?

June 24, 2017 at 1:39 pmThe font color you are using is too light, hard to read. Is it possible to use black rather than the light gray?
Thank you.

December 31, 2017 at 4:24 pmit says 3.2 carbs but then in the nutritional info it says 10 carbs… which is it?
Georgina says
December 31, 2017 at 8:57 pmJulie 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/

October 5, 2018 at 12:54 pmWhat is the best way to reheat these chicken tenders? Even half a recipe is too much for one person.
Georgina says
October 5, 2018 at 6:53 pmGah – 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!
