So I was inspired by a recent book to start using nuts as a coating for chicken instead of the same breadcrumb, flour or whole eggs. It will also make my stomach a lot happier since I am having a hard time with gluten products. So my mom and I decided to experiment, with chicken tenders since they are small and easy to cook up; plus the kids love them.
So here is what we did....
- 1/2 cup pistachios shelled
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1 package chicken tenders
- 2 egg whites
Preheat the oven to 350. Using a food chopper or processor, chop up your almonds, and pistachios. In an assembly lay out your chicken; nuts and egg whites each in there own bowl. Take your chicken and dip it in the egg, then nuts, and onto a sprayed baking sheet. Repeat till all chicken is done, place into the oven for about 20-25 minutes, remove and enjoy.
Fit Cuisine Notes:
This dish smells amazing, it's gluten free and full of flavor. It is a great alternative to breadcrumb and tastes good over quinoa, a salads or with vegetables. Obviously if you have a nut issue omit this dish, but it is totally worth the time and if you want make a batch of mixed nuts and place into the freezer so you always have it on hand
