Description
Crispy and delicious Pork Rind–Crusted Keto Chicken Tenders with 0g carbs, perfect for a low-carb diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Cooking oil spray (for frying)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined.
- Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the pork rind mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
- Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking oil spray for extra crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
Notes
- For added flavor, try mixing in some dried herbs like oregano or thyme into the pork rind coating.
- If you prefer frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
