Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • ½ cup raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1 fresh egg
  • 1 Tbsp coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Using a food processor, chop the raw almonds. Do not pulse for too long, we want to still have a bit of texture and get crispy when roasted.
  • Place the chopped almond pieces in a bowl. Add parmesan cheese, almond meal and a pinch of salt and mix to combine well.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the coconut milk.
  • In a third bowl, mix the chicken tenders with olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  • Mix well to get all pieces coated.
  • This is how your set up should be like in 3 separate bowls: 1. Chicken tenders, 2. The egg mixture, and 3. The almond mixture.
  • Starting with the chicken strips, dip each one, one at a time, in the egg mixture, then hold above the bowl to allow the excess to drip off. Then place the chicken into the almond mixture and coat each side evenly.
  • Place each chicken strip on your baking tray, evenly spaced.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
