Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (you can also use coconut milk or dairy milk if you prefer)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups gluten free panko breadcrumbs (I used 4c brand)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cajun seasoning like Old Bay
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • honey mustard, for serving

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Add the eggs, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar to a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. Add the chicken tenders to the mixing bowl and submerge into the wet mixture.
  3. Add the panko breadcrumbs to a food processor and pulse until fine, two or three times.
  4. Pour the breadcrumbs into a mound on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add a tablespoon of avocado oil to the breadcrumb mound and stir until the oil is well incorporated.
  5. Spread the breadcrumbs into a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl, then add in all of the seasoning and spices. Stir well the seasonings and breadcrumbs are well combined.
  7. Grease a wire baking rack and place it over a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  8. Remove a few of the chicken tenders from the egg mixture, around two to four tenders at a time, and transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Use your fingers to toss the chicken in the breadcrumbs until well coated, pressing the breadcrumbs into the chicken to help them stick.
  9. Transfer the coated chicken to the wire rack. Bake the chicken tenders at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
  10. Serve warm and with your favorite dipping sauce.
