These tasty gluten and grain free chicken tenders came from a recipe I found on Marksdailyapple and are super easy to make.
They’re a great alternative for kids, and perfect to use atop a salad when you’re craving a bit of a salty/crunchy treat. Plus they’re perfect to pair with an asian-inspired or spicy-fruit dipping sauce (think mango chutney) if you want to serve them as an appetizer instead!
Enjoy 🙂

This is genius! I’ve never thought to use nuts as a chicken tender coating, and since going paleo, tenders are one of the few things me and my guy craveeeee. Thanks for the great idea, can’t wait to try it out!
Glad you like it! Let me know how they turn out 🙂
