Equipment

Stove
Large Skillet/Fry Pan
measuring cups
measuring spoons
fork for handling chicken

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound chicken tenders
1 1/2 cups ground almonds or almond meal
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place ground almonds, Parmesan, salt and pepper into a shallow dish, stirring to combine. (If you have whole almonds on hand like we did, you can grind them in a powerful blender. We used our Blendtec.)
Place coated chicken strips into hot saute pan. Cook each side for about 3 minutes, until cooked through and browned. Remove strips from skillet and let cool on a baking rack or paper towel lined plate. Serve warm with your favorite chicken strip dips. My boys enjoy ketchup, yogurt Ranch, mustard and honey.
