Paleo air fryer chicken tenders ... could anything be more comfort-perfect! Air frying is terrific for those of us that love fried foods but don't love the fat or tummy problems. And these are not only skinnier but PALEO to boot. Eat them up ... FOR REAL!
Pre-heat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs.
In a wide shallow container, whisk almond flour, flaxseed, and all of the seasoning until combined.
Dip chicken into the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
Spray the air fryer basket generously with the avocado or coconut spray, and place as many chicken tenders in the basket that will fit with plenty of space in between. Spray tenders with additional spray to coat.
Fry for 10 minutes, flipping once at 5 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining chicken tenders until they have all been cooked through to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
* If using boneless, skinless breasts cut into strips about 1/2" x 5".
**For a nut-free version, omit almond flour and use all ground flax seed instead.
