Zesty Paleo Chicken (Whole30-approved)

These are Parker's current favorite  - we've now made the "spicy chicken" twice in less than 2 weeks. The kids love it and it's Whole30-approved for Andrew and I so we're all loving it! Give it a try!

Ingredients:
1 lb. organic boneless chicken tenders

1 egg

1/4 tsp water

1/2 cup almond meal or almond flour

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt

1/4 tsp chili powder

Optional: 1 tbsp fresh parmesan cheese (opt out if you’re doing Whole30)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with tin foil. Spray the foil (or grease with oil of choice.)

2. In a bowl, combine almond meal and all spices.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg and add 1/4 tsp water.

4. Drop the chicken into the egg and mix until fully covered. Then dredge the chicken in the spice mixture, coat evenly and place on the baking sheet; repeat until all are coated.

5. Bake for 12-15 minutes then flip chicken bites over and cook for another 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serve hot with your favorite sauce. I like homemade tomato sauce and zucchini noodles or pasta for the kids. Yum!
