Crispy Breaded Whole30 Chicken Tenders

by

My love for chicken tenders didn’t wane as I got older. Crispy, breaded strips of chicken dunked in bbq sauce or ranch will always be a part of my diet. Only difference: now they are these Whole30 Chicken Tenders breaded with crispy seasoned shredded coconut and dunked in my dairy- free roasted garlic ranch. Yes, there are still fries on the side but there might be a small green salad now, as well.

Crispy, Whole30 Chicken tenders breaded with seasoned almond flour, unsweetened coconut and BAKED to perfect! Delicious when dunked in dairy- free, roasted garlic ranch and are freezer friendly! The whole family will love these Whole30 Chicken Tenders.

Moderation and balance are key!

These Whole30 Chicken tenders will be loved by the entire family and are FREEZER FRIENDLY!

Bread them, freeze them till they are solid, and store them in a freezer- safe bag. Pull them out when you are ready and cook them in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. 

I also love to prepare these in my air fryer! Want to see which one I am using these days? CLICK HERE.

Notes

You can use ALL paleo flour or ALL almond flour; I just like the texture from the combination of both.

Cook time depends on the thickness of your tenderloins
