A tasty and crunchy substitute for regular chicken tenders are these Paleo Coconut-Crusted Chicken Tenders. They are ideal for a Paleo or Whole 30 diet because they are grain- and gluten-free.

Ingredients: 1 lb chicken tenders. 1 cup shredded coconut. 1/2 cup almond flour. 1 tsp paprika. 1/2 tsp garlic powder. 1/2 tsp onion powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/4 tsp black pepper. 2 eggs. Coconut oil for frying.

Instructions: Shredded coconut, almond flour, paprika, onion and garlic powders, salt, and black pepper should all be combined in a mixing bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl. After dipping each chicken tender into the beaten eggs and letting any excess run off, coat each one with the coconut mixture and gently press it to stick. In a skillet set over medium-high heat, warm the coconut oil. The coated chicken tenders should be added to the hot oil and cooked for approximately 45 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Take out of the skillet and put on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb extra oil. Serve warm, accompanied by your preferred Paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
