Gluten Free Chicken Tenders Recipe

My kids are in love with crispy crunchy chicken tenders.  Call them chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, chicken fingers…really, what is the right terminology?  You tell me!  Either way, this is by far their favorite protein and I literally make this recipe 1-2 times a week!  They love it that much!  Also, my daughter wanted me to to tell you these are DELICIOUS!

I have had lots of visitors during the summer for playdates and even non-gluten free kiddos have loved these!

Some key ingredients you will need are blanched almond flour, tapioca flour, onion granules, paprika and avocado oil.  I like to cook these in a cast iron griddle for even heating.  These turn out crispy and golden brown.  Yum!

So give these delicious gluten free chicken tenders a try.  They are Paleo friendly, Whole30 approved and a quick and easy meal to make!  They reheat well in the oven and can even be frozen and reheated.

      Aww!Thank you so much for sharing your results! I am so glad to hear that your boys loved them! I just made them for dinner too! They are a family favorite in my house! I served them with a honey mustard dressing. I mixed together mayo, mustard, honey, lemon juice and onion powder. Warmly, Ester
