Honestly, these were SO good! Reminded me of the KFC chicken tenders – except much healthier! You would never tell they are baked instead of fried. Will happily bet on your kids/ husband/ boyfriend/ girlfriend/ bff/ parent/ grandchild approving this one.

Yields1 ServingPrep Time20 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time45 mins
Ingredients:
600gChicken breast (sliced into strips)
1chicken stock cube(make sure option is gluten-free if needed)
1tbspgarlic powder
1tbspsmoked paprika
1tspfine sea salt
2tbspolive oil
Batter:
50gground almonds or almond flour
200ggluten-free breadcrumbs*
1tbspsmoked paprika
1tbspground flaxseed (optional)this isn't integral to recipe but is a great way of adding fibre
1tspfine sea salt
3egg whites
Method:
1
First, you'll need to marinate your chicken strips. In a bowl, mix chicken with marinade ingredients. For the oxo cube you will have to dissolve it in a bit of boiling water and pour it in. I like to do this ahead of time, say in the morning for an evening meal so the chicken really soaks up the flavours. Alternatively, if you forgot to marinate ahead of time - make sure you leave it at least half an hour minimum marinating.
2
Once your marinated chicken is ready, prepare a baking tray with greaseproof paper and pre-heat oven to 170 Degrees C.
Grab two bowls, in one add your egg whites and in the other mix the rest of your batter ingredients. Then, strip by strip dip chicken into egg white mix, then batter mix and place on lined baking sheet. Repeat until all strips are coated.
3
Note: In this recipe i made half of the chicken and kept the rest for the next day. Half the recipe yielded approx 18 strips.
4
Bake for 20-25 minutes (different ovens may vary) until chicken is crispy and golden.

Notes
*Gluten-Free breadcrumbs are usually made up of dried corn, so if you don't have any handy or can't find none at the supermarket you can blitz some cornflakes in a high speed blender, or even tortilla chips (doritos if you're feeling crazy) as they too are made of corn.
