Paleo Chicken Fingers


I've tried a couple different recipes for Paleo chicken fingers, and this one is hands down my favorite! It's popular with both kids and adults, and it's super easy to make. These chicken fingers can be made using chicken tenders, or I like to simply cut a couple chicken breasts into large chunks. I would recommend doubling or even tripling this recipe in order for it to be substantial enough (I always seem to run out of the breading mixture halfway through coating my chicken). Enjoy!!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken tenders (or skinless chicken breast, cut into strips)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ cup Almond Meal
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¾ tsp Paprika
  • ¼ tsp Ground Coriander
  • ¼ tsp Ground Cumin

1.    Preheat oven to 425F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.    Combine almond meal with spices on a plate or shallow dish.  Place beaten egg in a separate shallow dish.
3.    Dry chicken with paper towel.  Dip in egg then dip in almond meal mixture, coating all sides.  Place on baking sheet.  Repeat until all chicken tenders are coated.
4.    Bake for 16-18 minutes, turning once in the middle of baking, until completely cooked (interior temperature should read 180F).
