Description

Imagine biting into a chicken tender that's supremely moist and juicy, encased in a delicately crisp coating. These aren't your average tenders; they offer a delightful textural contrast, yielding to a tender interior with each satisfying crunch of the subtly nutty breading. The golden-brown crust is more than just visually appealing; it provides a flavor platform that complements the savory chicken perfectly.

Think of this as a blank canvas, ready to absorb your favorite flavors. While the basic recipe provides a delicious starting point, the true beauty lies in its adaptability. Feel free to explore your spice rack and experiment with different combinations to create a truly personalized dish.

Consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika for a hint of smoky depth, or a dash of garlic powder for a savory boost. Onion powder provides a subtle sweetness, while a touch of cayenne pepper can introduce a pleasant warmth. For those who enjoy herbal notes, dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary can add a touch of earthiness.

The possibilities are truly endless. These chicken tenders are perfect as a quick and easy weeknight meal, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or even a satisfying snack. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce – perhaps a creamy ranch, a tangy barbecue, or a zesty honey mustard.

Pair them with a side of roasted vegetables, a crisp salad, or some flavorful fries for a complete and balanced meal. The moistness of the chicken ensures that every bite is enjoyable, preventing the dryness often associated with breaded chicken. The almond flour breading not only provides a delicious texture but also a slightly sweet and nutty flavor that enhances the overall taste profile.

Whether you're cooking for yourself, your family, or a group of friends, these chicken tenders are sure to be a hit. The ease of preparation and the ability to customize the flavors make them a versatile and convenient option for any occasion. Get ready to enjoy a truly delightful culinary experience with these incredibly tender and flavorful chicken tenders.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt until well combined.
    2.
    In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
    3.
    Dip each chicken tender first into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, back into the almond flour mixture for a double coating.
    4.
    Place the breaded chicken tenders on a clean plate or tray, ensuring they are not overlapping.
    5.
    Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the avocado oil and heat for about 30 seconds. Add half of the chicken tenders to the skillet, cooking for approximately 2 minutes on each side until nicely browned. The objective is to brown the tenders, not to cook them all the way through. Once browned, transfer the tenders to a baking sheet. After all the tenders are browned and on the baking sheet, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the tenders reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), approximately 5 minutes (adjust the baking time depending on your oven and how much you cooked them in the skillet). Keep a close watch! Serve hot and enjoy!
