Ingredients:
-
chicken tenderloins thawed (I used 7)
-
equal parts isopure whey protein isolate and almond flour (I used 1 C ea.)
-
Grated parmeson (1/2 C)
-
Salt & Pepper to taste
-
Seasonings to taste (I used hot Hungarian paprika, cumin, and garlic powder)
-
2 eggs beaten
-
avocado oil (or another high heat oil such as canola oil)
Directions:
-
Beat eggs in a large bowl
-
In a ziploc bag, add the whey protein isolate, almond flour, grated parmesan, salt, pepper, and seasonings and mix well.
-
Coat chicken tenderloins in egg wash and transfer to the ziploc bag.
-
Shake the bag until chicken is evenly coated.
-
Heat avocado oil in a wok or pan on high heat. You should have enough oil to cover 1-2 inches of the bottom.
-
Add the chicken tenderloins and fry in batches, turning every 1-2 minutes for approximately 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees Fahrenheit)
-
Move chicken to a baking rack over a cookie sheet to cool and drain.
-
Serve with your favorite sauce (which I forgot to do)
You could also probably try this in the air fryer, but you do need to add oil since whey isolate does not turn into a batter consistency without oil.
