  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Chicken Tenders:

  • 2 large eggs (or 3 small eggs)
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup almond flour or almond meal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken tenders
  • Coconut oil cooking spray

For the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 tablespoon warm water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 2 tablespoons of almond milk (or your milk of choice) until well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of almond milk to the mixture and stir with a fork until it forms a crumb-like texture.
  4. Coat Chicken Tenders: Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture fully coating it, and back into the flour mixture to achieve a crumb-coated texture. Place each coated tender on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Spray with Coconut Oil: Generously spray the tops of the coated chicken tenders with coconut oil cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
  6. Bake the Tenders: Bake the chicken tenders in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  7. Make the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, and warm water until smooth and well combined.
  8. Serve: Serve the baked paleo chicken tenders warm alongside the honey mustard dipping sauce and your favorite sides.
