Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 large avocado
- 4 paleo-friendly buns
- 4 tablespoons dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and unsweetened almond milk to create an egg wash.
Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to ensure an even coating.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the coated chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer chicken tenders to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sandwich toppings. Slice the tomato and avocado.
To assemble the sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each paleo-friendly bun.
Layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, a crispy chicken tender, slices of tomato, and avocado.
Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately to enjoy your Paleo Crispy Chicken Tender Sandwich.
