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.
