Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders

I haven't shared a recipe on here in SO long! I wasn't anticipating sharing this one, but it turned out SO good, I just had to write it up! I've been trying to keep my diet (and my husband's) squeaky clean lately, and feeling AMAZING doing so. I am still following the 21 day fix container system and Autumn's countdown to competition meal plan (click here for my previous post)! I am loving the results I am seeing and am remembering how amazing my body feels on clean, whole foods. On top of that, there are enough temptations and distractions during this time of year to overindulge, so as much as I can help it, we are keeping things nice and healthy in the Verano household.

I have been wanting to make a crusted chicken recipe in SO long, and I finally got around to it yesterday! My husband loves breaded chicken, but I stay away from it because of my gluten allergy, and I just find breaded chicken SO heavy. Yesterday, I decided to try to "bread" chicken with almond flour instead of panko  bread crumbs and they turned out DELICIOUS! My husband was happy, I was happy, and our Saturday was made! Here is my quick and easy Almond crusted chicken tender recipe!

I served these up with some buffalo veggies, which were basically steamed veggies I had in the fridge, tossed with Frank's buffalo hot sauce, and baked on 425 for about 15 minutes. I also made the hubby oven-baked fries! I sliced the potatoes nice and thin and spread them out on a lined baking sheet. Then tossed in 1 T olive oil and some salt and paprika. Baked for about 20 minutes, and viola! He was a happy, happy man!
