1poundchicken tenders
1 1/2cupsground almonds or almond meal
1/4cupfresh grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2teaspoonkosher salt
1/2teaspoonfreshly 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.
