ALMOND-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS WITH CABBAGE LIME SLAW

 

SERVES 2

ALMOND-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

½ cup almond flour

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

¼ teaspoon paprika

½ cup full-fat coconut milk

8 to 10 ounces boneless, skinless chicken tenders

CABBAGE LIME SLAW

2 cups shredded green cabbage

1 cup sprouts

½ medium white onion, sliced thin

½ cup chopped cilantro

¼ cup lime juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and paprika. Set aside.

Pour coconut milk into a shallow bowl. Dip chicken tenders in coconut milk. Dredge each tender in the almond flour mixture.

Arrange chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes, flip the chicken, and continue cooking for another 7 to 8 minutes, or until chicken is golden on the outside and cooked through.

While chicken bakes, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, sprouts, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve chicken with a large helping of slaw. It also tastes great with sides of ½ avocado, and a serving of pickled ginger.
