Italian Chicken Tenders with Broccoli

by | Jun 4, 2019

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Organic boneless chicken breast, cut into tenders (this would also be great with pork!)
  • .5 cup almond flour
  • 1.5 tbsp tapioca flour
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
  • .5 tsp salt (or more to taste)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or avocado oil for frying
  • 8 cups broccoli florets (or cruciferous veggie of choice)

Directions

  1. Place almond flour, tapioca flour, yeast flakes, and all the spices in  bowl.
  2. Scramble the eggs in a separate bowl.
  3. Prepare the chicken breast by cutting it into tender sized pieces.
  4. Depending on the size of your saute pan, heat a small portion of the coconut oil, let it get hot.
  5. Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg and then coat each with the almond flour mixture.
  6. Place the prepared chicken into the hot oil and fry it for 3-5 minutes, until one side starts to brown. Once the first side is browned, turn the chicken and fry the other side for another 3-5 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through with no “pink” inside.
  7. Steam the broccoli to your liking. If you had “room in your macros” serve with your favorite complex carb or sauce!
