Almond Flour Chicken Tenders Recipe
Almond Flour Chicken Tenders (Whole30 + Paleo) - Easy and incredibly delicious weeknight chicken tenders! Made with real, simple ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into tenders/strips
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425℉. Take large baking sheet and line with parchment paper.
- Breading Bowls: Crack 2 eggs in a medium bowl and scramble with fork; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder, 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, ¾ teaspoon garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon onion powder, and ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper and mix together.
- Coat Chicken: Line up the prep stations by placing chicken strips, next to your egg wash, then almond four mixture and then your cookie sheet. Take a chicken strip and completely submerge in egg wash. Let the excess egg wash fall off as you lift the chicken out of the wash. Place chicken in almond flour mixture and ensure it is completely covered in the mixture. Shake off the excess.
- Bake: Place the breaded chicken tenders on the sheet pan with parchment paper and then repeat with the rest of the chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through (flip gently). If you want a crispier outside feel free to place under the broiler for a minute or two (just watch carefully so they don't burn).
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with dairy-free ranch dressing, homemade ketchup or homemade bbq sauce!
Notes
- Storage: let them cool slightly, place in an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
- Dips: perfect for serving with dairy free ranch dressing, homemade ketchup, homemade bbq sauce, or honey mustard sauce for all your dipping needs!
- Nutrition: these calculations to not include any of the dips.
