One of my favourite recipes…
To keep you busy until you’re able to visit me in the Teaching Kitchen,
try this gluten-free / dairy-free, Paleo, and/or AIP recipe that is part of my weekly repertoire.
Chicken Tenders
— gluten-free / Paleo —
“Breaded” with a mixture of almond powder and spices, these chicken tenders are cruncy on the outside but juicy on the inside. Baked in the oven, they’re nothing but good, real food!
Ingredients
- 1lb chicken tenders
- 1 cup almond powder
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 2 eggs
- Preheat the oven to 350*F.
- Combine all dry ingredients in one mixing bowl.
- Break eggs into a 2nd bowl and mix.
- One by one, dip each chicken tender first into the egg mixture, and then into the flour mixture. Use a spoon to ensure that its entire surface is powdered with the flour mixture.
- Place the powdered chicken tenders on a wire oven rack, set onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (That way, any crumbs that flake off during baking won’t mess up your oven!)
- Bake 16-18 minutes at 350*F.
- Serve with vegetable accompaniments and your favourite dip.
