Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 cup pure tomato sauce or marinara sauce
  • a large handful of fresh basil chopped
  • avocado oil cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pound each chicken tender to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Season with sea salt and pepper, then lightly spritz with cooking oil on both sides.
  • In a shallow dish, combine your grated parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken into the parmesan flour mixture, gently pressing to coat on all sides. Place them onto your prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in your preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and golden, about 15 minutes.
