Keto Coconut Chicken Tenders Ingredients
– Chicken: Chicken breast or already pre-cut chicken tenders. Try to get the tenders already cut because it will save you so much time.
– Coconut flour: To make these low-carb and keto-friendly coconut flour is a must. You can find coconut flour in any grocery store or online.
– Coconut flakes: Unsweetened flaked coconut is the best. You can find it in any store, usually near the other baking goods or health foods items.
– Paprika: A must! Paprika adds so much great flavor and gives the chicken tenders their nice orange color.
– Garlic powder: Adds lots of great flavor. I love how it really brings out the flavors of coconut and the spices.
– Egg: Large eggs, at room temperature
– Freshly Ground Salt & Pepper: To taste. I like to use sea salt and also ground the pepper fresh.
You can freeze these coconut chicken tenders.
Be sure to wrap them well in either plastic or foil and place them inside a freezer bag.
You should not keep them for more than two months in the freezer.
These tenders contain no gluten and are safe for those on a gluten-free diet.
They also are a paleo-friendly option as well.
