Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

olive oil (to spray the pan)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
12 garlic flavor Club crackers
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
5 tablespoons butter
10 chicken tenderloins (or 4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into fingers)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F Spray a baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Place almond flour, coconut, crackers, paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper in a food processor; process until the crackers are finely chopped and the paprika is mixed throughout, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
  • Melt butter in a second shallow dish. Add chicken tenders and turn to coat. Transfer each tender to the crumb mixture; turn to coat evenly. (Discard any remaining butter and almond mixture.) Place the tenders on the prepared tray.
  • Bake the chicken tenders until golden brown, crispy and no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes, carefully turning once.
