Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders
- 1-2 eggs
- 2 c almond meal (superfine, if possible)
- 2 Tbsp cc special, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Mix almond meal and 1.5 Tbsp cc special in a wide bowl.
- Crack egg in a bowl wide enough to dip chicken tenders. Whisk well with a fork.
- Put chicken tenders in a large bowl, pat dry. Sprinkle with 3/4 tsp cc special and mix well, so all tenders are seasoned.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and top with baking rack.
- Designate a wet hand and a dry hand. Using wet hand, dip 1 chicken tender in eggs to coat on both sides. Still using wet hand, allow excess to drip off, then place in dry bowl. Using dry hand, coat fully on both sides with almond meal mixture. Still using dry hand, place breaded tender on the baking rack.
- Repeat with all tenders, placing them in a single layer on the baking rack.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and flip all tenders.
- Return to oven for an additional 16-18 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165 F.
