Description
Enjoy crispy, flavorful chicken tenders coated in almond flour for a healthier twist on a classic recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine the almond flour and all the ingredients under the spice mix together.
- Beat the one egg in a small bowl.
- Add your now seasoned flour to a plate and place bowl and plate side by side.
- Dip the chicken tender in the egg then place it on the plate.
- Pat the flour on the chicken tender evenly on both sides then place the tender on a baking rack.
- Repeat until all the tenders are done.
- Place in oven for 15 minutes then flip and bake for a remaining 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool a bit when you first remove them because almond flour is very fragile while piping hot.
- Use the same cooking method and times if using an air fryer, but you may need to add parchment paper if the plate is prone to sticking.
