I usually take a minute to explain what makes each recipe on this site fall into the dietary categories so my readers a better idea of what each diet is about. Keto is a diet focused on keeping the body in a state of ketosis. In this state, the body starts to burn fat for fuel. You do this by consuming under a certain number of carbs per day, typically 20G or less. Chicken breast have 0 carbs. The almond flour has approximately 3Net Carbs per quarter cup. All the other ingredients have 0 carbs, making this a very keto friendly dinner.
Both Whole 30 and Paleo diets focus on eating whole foods that are minimally processed, avoiding any inflammatory ingredients, like gluten, grains, dairy, and legumes. Traditional chicken tenders are breaded with breadcrumbs and flour both which contain gluten. The Almond Flour is a great Whole 30 & Paleo friendly replacement. All spices are fruits are allowed in unlimited quantities. Not all mayo is compliant because they contain ingredients like soy and canola. But I highly recommend Primal Kitchen Avocado Mayo, which is both Paleo and Whole 30 approved. Some people say Sriracha is not allowed on Whole 30 or Paleo so you can substitute a drop of a compliant hot sauce for a similar dipping sauce.
these look so good! I love chicken tenders and I have an air fryer so it’s perfect for me. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
