TACO CHICKEN TENDERS✨ add these grain-free, dairy-free, and egg-free crispy baked chicken tenders to your game day menu! There are sure to be a crowdpleaser amongst kids and adults alike because who ever really grows out of loving chicken tenders??
Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken tenders
5 oz bag of grain-free tortilla chips (I used
dairy-free nacho chips)
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup arrowroot starch
6 tbsp taco seasoning, divided (I used
)
2 tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
about 1/2 cup olive oil for your “breading” station
avocado or olive oil spray
Dipping sauces:
1/2 cup sour cream (I used
dairy-free sour cream)
1/4 cup medium red salsa (I used
)
1 cup salsa cremosa (I used
)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with oil
Break your chips up into small crumbs (its easiest to do this in a food processor)
Set up your “breading” station by adding your almond flour, arrowroot starch, 4 tbsp taco seasoning, salt, and pepper to a low dish, your olive oil into another low dish, and your chip crumbs + 2 tbsp taco seasoning into a third dish
Dredge your tenders in the flour mixture first, then in the olive oil, then in the chips and seasoning mixture and place on a your parchment-lined sheet pan
Spray the chicken tenders with olive or avocado oil and bake for 20 minutes until lightly crispy then broil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown (watch closely because they can burn easily)
While the chicken tenders cool, assemble your dipping sauces
In a small dish, mix together the sour cream and red salsa (taste and adjust amounts to your preference) and add your salsa cremosa to a second small dish
Serve and enjoy!
