Keto Coconut Flour Chicken Tenders

These easy baked Keto Coconut Flour Chicken Tenders are crispy and need just a few ingredients! Crispy chicken strips are everyone’s favorite.  Keto Coconut Flour Chicken Tenders – You must try this recipe.

This simple coconut chicken recipe is crispy, full of flavor, and easy to make. Did I mention delicious, too? Now you can enjoy healthy baked chicken tenders at home any time you want!

In fact, once you taste them and see how easy they are to make, I bet this paleo coconut chicken recipe becomes a recurring meal in your menu rotation.

This is actually the second recipe I tried. The first one dipped the chicken tenderloins in beaten eggs before coating in the coconut flour mixture, but that batch was very dry

To get the chicken moist without frying, I knew that some oil was needed. So, in my second attempt at baked coconut flour chicken tenders coated the chicken in olive oil rather than eggs.

What was the result of using oil? A juicy chicken underneath a crisp gluten-free coconut flour-based coating. And the best part? My picky daughter ate three of the tenders without complaining.

These easy baked Keto Coconut Flour Chicken Tenders are crispy and need just a few ingredients! Crispy chicken strips are everyone’s favorite.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup coconut flour

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan optional

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher or natural sea salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon ground smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder optional

• 1/2 teaspoon black or white pepper

• 1 pound chicken tenderloins 6-8 pieces

• 1/4 cup olive oil or a beaten egg

Directions

• On a plate or shallow container, mix coconut flour, Parmesan, and spices with a fork.
• Pour olive oil – or beaten egg in a small container. Drench each tenderloin in olive oil then gently press each chicken tenderloin in coconut flour mixture.
• Spray extra olive oil over the coating until wet to prevent dryness.
• Ensure each tenderloin is completely covered with coating then place on a rack inside a shallow baking pan.
• Spraying extra olive oil on top prevents dry coating.
• Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes then flip each tenderloin.
• Continue baking for an additional 10-12 minutes. To brown the outside, place tenders about 6-inches from the top broiler on high and broil each side for about 1 minute. (You’ll need to flip the tenders again to brown each side using the broiler)
• Eat plain or dip in your favorite sauce.
• Makes 6 chicken tenders
• Enjoy!

Notes

• To make in an air fryer, cook for approximately 8 minutes at 360°F – 180°C.
• Adjust seasoning to suit taste.
• For Paleo, nutritional yeast is a great sub for the Parmesan cheese.
