Fiber-Filled Fab 4 Chicken Tenders

We are turning traditional Chicken Tenders into a tasty, high-fiber dish that your little ones will love.

Chicken tenders are a beloved classic, but they often come with a hefty side of guilt due to their usual deep-fried preparation. However, fear not! I've got a fantastic recipe that gives this favorite dish a healthy makeover without compromising on flavor or texture. Introducing my Fiber-Filled Fab 4 Chicken Tenders!

Traditional chicken tenders typically lack essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Instead, they provide mostly empty calories without significant nutritional benefits. But with a few swaps, I'll show you how easy it is to make them at home and turn them into a Fab 4 approved dish.

First things first, you'll want to get your hands on my Unflavored Plant-Based protein powder - it is made from one simple ingredient - organic soaked, dried and ground chocho bean. And it is the secret ingredient to keeping this dish low-carb and full of plant-based goodness. We're swapping out the flour for my Unflavored Plant-Based protein powder to seamlessly double the protein and add in a hefty dose of fiber in every bite. And for that crunchy coating, I am using Simple Mills gluten-free crackers instead of bread crumbs, but you can also use pork rinds, gluten-free panko, chia-flax seed blend, almond flour, etc.

Pair these tenders with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauces for some extra healthy fats, add a side of roasted veggies, and you've got yourself a complete Fab Four meal. My boys dip these tenders in Primal Kitchen Foods Chipotle Lime Mayo, but you really can't go wrong with any of Primal Kitchen Condiments.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Pound the chicken tenders or breasts to 1/4-1/2 inch thickness.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine your favorite breading (I used Simple Mills Sea Salt Almond Flour Crackers and crushed in the bag to form a fine, powder like consistency) with 1 scoop of my unflavored plant-based protein powder and spices. Mix together with a fork.
  4. Coat your chicken in a thin layer of mayonnaise, and place each individual chicken into the breading mixture to cover both sides evenly.
  5. Place the coated chicken onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until juices run clear or the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce.
