1. Classic Almond Flour Keto Chicken Strips

These classic almond flour keto chicken strips deliver a thin, crunchy crust and tender chicken inside. The almond coating browns beautifully and carries garlic and paprika flavors. Great for weeknight dinners or dipping at parties — the texture is crisp, slightly nutty, and savory.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1.5 cups blanched almond flour
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (for extra crisp)
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. In another bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
  3. Pat chicken strips dry with paper towels. One at a time, dip each strip in egg, then press into the almond mixture, coating evenly. Place on the prepared sheet.
  4. Arrange strips on a wire rack set over the baking sheet if you have one — this promotes even browning. I like my cooling rack for this.
  5. Drizzle or mist lightly with avocado oil to help browning. Bake 12–15 minutes, then flip and bake another 6–8 minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C) and crust is golden. Check with an instant-read thermometer.
  6. Let rest 3 minutes before serving so juices redistribute.

How to Serve It

Serve on a platter with sugar-free BBQ or ranch. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. These keep well in airtight containers for 3–4 days; reheat on a wire rack in a 375°F oven for 6–8 minutes to restore crispness. Make ahead by coating strips and refrigerating for up to 8 hours before baking.
