Recipe:

Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers

Ingredients
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large egg whites
1 pound chicken tenders, (see Ingredient Note)
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 475F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet
and coat it with cooking spray.
2. Place almonds, flour, paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper in a food
processor; process until the almonds are finely chopped and the paprika is mixed throughout,
about 1 minute. With the motor running, drizzle in oil; process until combined. Transfer the
mixture to a shallow dish.
3. Whisk egg whites in a second shallow dish. Add chicken tenders and turn to coat. Transfer
each tender to the almond mixture; turn to coat evenly. (Discard any remaining egg white
and almond mixture.) Place the tenders on the prepared rack and coat with cooking spray;
turn and spray the other side.
4. Bake the chicken fingers until golden brown, crispy and no longer pink in the center, 20 to
25 minutes.
Tips & Notes
Ingredient note: Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found
attached to the underside of the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately.
Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stirfries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded chicken fingers.
