Description

Crispy, high-protein chicken chips that deliver a jerky-like flavor and texture. This keto-friendly and low-carb snack combines simple seasonings with baked chicken, perfect for a healthy, savory bite anytime.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground or thinly sliced chicken
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Optional: chili powder, lemon pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken chips.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Place the ground or thinly sliced chicken between two sheets of parchment paper and press it thinly and evenly to create a uniform thickness.
  3. Season: Remove the top parchment sheet and sprinkle salt, garlic powder, paprika, and optional spices evenly over the chicken. Flip and repeat seasoning on the other side.
  4. Bake: Place the seasoned chicken on a baking tray and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until crisp, flipping halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness.
  5. Cool and Store: Once baked to a crispy texture, allow the chicken chips to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a jerky-style texture, using a dehydrator instead of an oven can enhance chewiness and dryness.
  • This recipe suits keto, high-protein, and low-carb dietary needs perfectly.
  • Adjust optional seasonings like chili powder or lemon pepper to your taste for extra flavor variety.
