Crispy Almond Chicken Breast Panda Express
copycat recipes and takeout fakeout dishes are what I do best. Let's put it together with some crispy almond chicken from Panda Express. It is better than takeout!
Equipment
Ingredients
Chicken
- 16 ounces chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
Sauce
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1 green onion
Instructions
- Slice chicken tenderloins into small pieces, a little over one inch by one inch. Sprinkle with a little of the seasonings mix, about a quarter of the seasonings.
- Grab two small shallow bowls; however, I do like to use shallow Tupperware containers. In one, add the almond flour and seasonings, stirring to combine. Pour the eggs into the second bowl, whisking to make them smooth.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees and grease the rack with cooking spray.
- One by one, dredge chicken piece in the egg white, being sure to shake off any excess. Finally, cover the chicken in the flour mixture. Place each battered chicken piece on the greased air fryer, trying not to let them touch.
- Air fry for 3 minutes. Spray the chicken with cooking spray and then air fry for another 3 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over and spray any raw flour with cooking spray. Air fry for another 4 minutes, or until fully cooked and crispy.
- While the chicken is cooking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle with a little oil or spray with cooking spray.
- Add the minced garlic and let it cook until it has a nice darker golden color. It should take a few minutes.
- Then, pour in the soy sauce and bring that to a simmer. Reduce the heat a little and let the sauce simmer until thickened. Be sure to stir and scrape the bottom every minute or so.
- When the sauce is thickened, add in a sliced green onion and let that cook down for a minute or two.
- When the chicken is fully cooked, carefully toss the pieces in the sauce.
