Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast, cut into strips Ensure chicken is halal-certified.
  • 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Can substitute with crushed gluten-free cornflakes.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • as needed cooking oil spray or olive oil For baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken strips dry with a paper towel.
  2. In one bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. In another bowl, mix gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dunk each chicken strip in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Transfer to the breadcrumb mixture and coat well.
  4. Place coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking oil or drizzle olive oil on top.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Serving
  1. Allow the tenders to cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken is completely dry before coating. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
