Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast tenders
- 0.5 cup unflavored protein powder
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 large egg whites
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast tenders into bite-sized pieces.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the protein powder, whole wheat flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In another shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg whites, then dredge them into the dry mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by melting the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir well until combined and heated through.
Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Toss the baked chicken pieces in the warm buffalo sauce until well-coated.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce and a side of veggies, if desired.
