Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or using a baking rack.
In a shallow dish, combine the parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken tender into a bowl of beaten eggs, then transfer to the parmesan mixture, pressing gently.
Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the baking sheet in a single layer and lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the chicken fingers cool slightly before serving with your choice of dipping sauces.
