  • Author: Nikki Yelton
  • Total Time: 40 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

These crispy, flavor-packed chicken tenders are coated in a good-for-you crust for that extra crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ozs Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless, sliced into strips)
  • 3/4 cup Cashews
  • 2 tsps Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Hot Sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC).
  2. Add the cashews along with the chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and sea salt to a food processor or blender and pulse until a fine flour is formed (about 30 seconds). Transfer onto a plate.
  3. Whisk the egg with the hot sauce in a small bowl.
  4. Take each chicken strip and dip it in the egg with hot sauce, then in the cashew flour mix, coating all sides very well. Place onto a pan lined with parchment paper. Repeat with all the chicken strips and bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove from the oven and divide onto plates. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
