Baked Chicken Tenders are a fantastic low-carb option for a quick weeknight dinner. With just a few ingredients like pork rinds and Parmesan cheese, you can create a crispy coating that elevates boneless chicken thighs. At only 3 grams of carbs per serving, these tenders can fit perfectly into a keto meal plan. They’re great for meal prep or served alongside a dipping sauce for a satisfying family meal.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In bowl, beat the eggs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the pork rinds, cheese, garlic powder, and seasonings.
  5. Create a breading station: line up the egg wash, then the pork rind mixture, then the baking sheet.
  6. Take one thigh half and coat thoroughly with the egg wash, then in the pork rind mixture, pressing the breading into the meat so it sticks.
  7. Place the breaded thigh on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining thigh halves.
  8. Cook 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve with ranch dressing, or your dipping sauce of choice!
