Hey raynor, just curious about this.. I made this recipe today "probably was already a recipe, but I figured I love chicken AND almonds, why not combine em?" and figured i'd ask if it would be acceptable as a keto diet.
3 chicken tenders "precut, ends up at about 8-10 oz"
1/4 cup almonds "crush to almost flour consistancy with a mallet and a rolling pin"
3 egg yolks
1 tbspn heavy cream
Adobo seasoning
Pinch of salt
Olive oil "Enough to lightly coat a medium sauce pan"
Sounds great...although that is VERY calorie dense.
The chicken is around 220 cal, the almonds are around 220 cal, the egg yolks are around 150 cal, the 1tbsp heavy cream is around 50 cal. and the extra olive oil might add another 100 cal.
So you're looking at 740+ calories.
Pretty good macro wise, but heavy on the caloric scale.
