HOW DO I MAKE MY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS LOW IN SODIUM?
1. Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika together. This creates your dry mix.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. This will help the dry ingredients adhere to the chicken.
4. Dip each chicken tender first in the beaten egg, then dredge in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated.
5. Then place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Put the chicken tenders in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The temperature inside needs to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
7. Let the chicken tenders cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed on their own or with a low-sodium dipping sauce.
