Baked Chicken Tender Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for flavor, can be omitted for lower sodium)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 large egg
- Cooking spray (olive oil or another preferred type)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg. This will help the dry ingredients adhere to the chicken.
- Dip each chicken tender first in the beaten egg, then dredge in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated.
- Then place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
- 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).
- Let the chicken tenders cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed on their own or with a low-sodium dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For extra crunch, you can add a few tablespoons of crushed nuts or seeds to the flour mixture.
- To ensure the chicken is juicy and not dry, avoid overcooking it.
- Using almond flour not only reduces the carbohydrate content but also enhances the nutty flavor of the tenders.
- This recipe is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful meal while keeping an eye on their sodium intake. Enjoy your healthy and tasty baked chicken tenders!
