Chicken Tenders
Crispy, paleo, baked chicken tenders without the inflammatory oils.
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
1 pound organic boneless, skinless chicken tenders
3/4 cup almond meal
1 egg
2-3 Tbsp finely shredded coconut
Spices (I use a combo of paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper and a small pinch of cayenne)
Instructions
Mix almond meal, coconut and spices in a shallow dish.
Whisk egg and add to a shallow dish.
Coat chicken tenders in egg wash and then almond meal mixture.
Optional step: Heat 1 Tbsp avocado oil in a skillet. Cook tenders for a minute on each side. (You can also skip this step and just bake them, but this steps ensures crispiness.)
Transfer chicken to a wire rack sitting on a baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked (cooking time will be less if you seared them first).
