These Chicken Tenders are a family favorite! They don’t require a deep fryer yet still pack that protein in as well as a mouth watering crunch!
They are also completely gluten free by mixing corn flakes and almonds together to make the breading! Dip them in your favorite sauce and everyone in the family will be happy!

Ingredients:
- 2lbs of Chicken Breast cut into Tenders OR 2lbs of Tenders skinless boneless
- 2 Cups of corn flakes
- 1 Cup slivered almonds
- 1 Cup parmesan cheese
- Salt
- 2 Eggs for wash
Directions:

- In a food processor or blender, blend cornflakes, parmesan cheese, almonds, and salt until fine. Pour onto a plate and set aside
- Next, scramble 2 eggs together in a bowl and set aside.
- Make an assembly line of chicken, egg wash, breading, and a greased sheet pan.
- Dip the chicken tender in the egg wash, then roll it in the breading until it is coated everywhere, then place on the pan. Repeat this until all tenders are coated.
