Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), or prepare a skillet with a thin layer of avocado oil over medium heat.
Set up breading station:
In one shallow bowl: whisk the eggs.
In another shallow bowl: mix almond flour, arrowroot starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the chicken:
Dip each chicken strip into the egg wash, then coat in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Shake off excess.
Bake or fry:
To bake: Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray lightly with avocado oil. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
To pan-fry: Heat oil until shimmering. Cook chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
