Paleo Almond Flour Chicken Tenders
If there is one thing I have been cooking more of during this uncertain time it has been comfort food. More specifically, my childhood favorites. There is something about the nostalgia of a childhood favorite that is so comforting.
When my family took road trips when we were younger, we used to stop at Burger King and I would always get the chicken tenders. They were my absolute favorite. Now that I am older, I wanted to recreate them.
Enter this delicious and healthy version of my childhood favorite. I am so happy I discovered Open Nature® products that are available exclusively in my area at Albertsons and Safeway, especially Almond Flour which is used for the crispy coating on O Organics® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts. They are so easy to make and I love to eat them with a crunchy side of carrots or celery, O Organics Kettle Cooked Potato Chips and ranch or buffalo dipping sauce.
Here’s how you can make these paleo chicken tenders come together. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did!
Ingredients:
1 pound O Organics Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 egg
1 cup Open Nature Almond Flour
1 tsp. paprika
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. dried parsley
½ tsp. each salt and pepper
Method:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl whisk together the egg with 2 tablespoons of water to make the egg wash. In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, parsley, salt and pepper together.
Cut the chicken into tenders. Place a chicken tender in the egg wash and shake off the excess. Immediately place the chicken tender in the almond flour mixture and coat liberally. Shake off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for remaining chicken tenders.
Bake at 400 degrees for 16 minutes flipping half way through. After 16 minutes, turn the broiler on high. Broil 4-5 minutes to make the chicken extra crispy.
While the chicken bakes prepare your veggies for the side, grab a handful of chips and pour your sauce of choice!

I especially love O Organics because they are USDA certified I can find all my favorites at affordable prices and Open Nature makes products with simple ingredients and great quality.
