Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken tenders
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 vine-ripened tomato
- 0.5 red onion
- 4 tablespoons Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
- 8 pickle slices
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken tenders to the skillet.
Cook the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the vine-ripened tomato and red onion.
Assemble each sandwich by spreading 1 tablespoon of Whole30 compliant mayonnaise on a large romaine lettuce leaf.
Place a cooked chicken tender on the lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and two pickle slices.
Top with another lettuce leaf to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 crispy chicken tender sandwich!
