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 each egg whites (see Ingredient note)
    • 1 pound chicken tenders

 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475°F. Set a wire rack on a foil-lined baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. 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.
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.
Bake the chicken fingers until golden brown, crispy and no longer pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
