- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons butter
For the Keto Breading
- 1 cup pork rind panko see notes
- 1/3 cup almond flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
- Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray, or line with aluminum foil.
- In one shallow bowl combine the egg and mayonnaise, beat with a fork until it is completely combined. Set aside.
- In another shallow bowl combine the Keto Breading ingredients.
- Dip each sliced chicken tender into the egg mixture, then dredge in the breading. Make sure the tenders are completely coated.
- Once each tender is coated well, lay on the cooking sheet and brush with the melted butter.
- Bake 15 minutes, turn the tenders carefully using tongs and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Air fryer instructions:
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F. Place the chicken tenders (without the melted butter) and lightly spray with cooking oil. Cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook for 2-3 more minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Notes
Pork Panko: These are ground pork rinds that make a perfect sub for panko breadcrumbs. Simply put a 2.5 ounce bag of pork rinds in a food processor and pulse until it resembles panko breadcrumbs. This will result in about 2 cups of pork rind panko. Store in an air tight container.
