Chicken Strips

Canes is a love of mine so to beat that chicken strip craving I look to this recipe:

Slow-Carb Spicy Chicken Tenders
A simple, tasty meal which complements the Cheeky Kitchen Slow Carb eating plan. Pair these tender chicken strips with a smidgen of fresh-squeezed lemon juice. To grind the almond powder, use an industrial-strength blender, food processor, or hammer.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup raw almonds, ground to a coarse powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground flax (optional)
1/4 teaspoon brewers yeast (optional)
1/4 cup egg beaters
2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking dish with parchment or nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine the ground almonds, red pepper flakes, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg whites over the chicken tenders. Dip them into the almond mixture. Transfer to your baking sheet. Bake in an oven for 10-12 minutes, or just until the chicken is cooked through. Serve and enjoy!

*** I also steer off course and add a little extra chili powder and garlic salt get creative!

Sauce:
Worcestershire sauce (.25 of cup)
Thousand island (1.5 tablespoons)
Dash of garlic salt, chili powder, red pepper
Pinch of parsley

I'm the worst at giving directions cause I just flavor things to taste and explore my kitchen. Don't be afraid to test new things out and get creative.
Love always,
Keli K.
