Paleo Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Sauce
These Paleo Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders are grain-free and gluten-free, easy to make, and kid-friendly with a simple honey mustard dipping sauce. Perfect for game day or a casual weeknight dinner!
Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the almond flour (1/2 cup) with more salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.
Coat each chicken tender in egg mixture, followed by the almond flour mixture, and place on oiled baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes, flip, and bake for another 12 minutes until golden brown.
Meanwhile, mix honey (1/4 cup) and mustard (1/4 cup) together in a small bowl.
Serve chicken tenders with sauce.
Notes
The honey mustard sauce is Paleo compliant, but not Whole30 compliant, since it contains honey. Use an alternative dipping sauce, or none at all, for a whole30 compliant recipe.
For a low-carb version, I recommend omitting the honey mustard sauce, which will take the carb count down to 4g per serving.
The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
