I love pairing mine with sweet potato fries or a salad. ⁣👇🏼💛

INGREDIENTS:


1lb. chicken breast (I buy the strips already cut)⁣

1.5 cups almond flour (I use @bobsredmill)⁣

1 egg white

3 tsp paprika ⁣

1-2 tsp cayenne (or more for extra 💥)⁣

2-3 tsp garlic powder⁣

2 tsp salt

1-2 tsp pepper

1-2 tsp Italian seasoning or dried parsley

⁣(for a cheesy flavor sometimes I add 1-2 tbsp nutritional yeast)

1/2 cup gluten free Panko Crumbs for an extra crunch! (optional)


*I recommend doubling the recipe for leftovers!



DIRECTIONS:


for oven

Preheat oven to 400⁣

Place flour and spices in a shallow bowl and combine mixture.⁣

Crack egg whites into a different shallow bowl.⁣

One by one place each tender in the egg white bowl until covered in egg white then dip each tender into the dry mixture until coated completely. ⁣

Place tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.⁣

Bake for 20 minutes, flipping at 10 min.


*You may need to bake for an additional 6-8 minutes depending on the size of your chicken and if you doubled the batch. the key is getting the crust a little browned!

*Usually I can cook in 20-22 minutes but this last batch I made took about 30.


for air fryer

Preheat air fryer to 400 so it's warm.

Place flour and spices in a shallow bowl and combine mixture.⁣

Crack egg whites into a different shallow bowl.⁣

One by one place each tender in the egg white bowl until covered in egg white then dip each tender into the dry mixture until coated completely. ⁣

Place tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.⁣

Bake for 20 minutes, flipping at 10 min.

Cook agrees."The most link valuable watch is the one you spend the most time wearing. It's so rewarding to create something that people then embed their memories into. It becomes something so much more valuable than what we sell it as. A watch becomes a part of link your life in link an important and personal way."
