Healthy vice: Chicken Fingers
Healthy substitute: Easy Cashew Chicken Fingers
This tasty Chicken Finger is a go-to, easy to make, fan favorite.
It is Whole 30 Approved, Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and most importantly made with delicious whole foods.
So, let’s get started:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
To begin, in a flat dish add 1 egg + 1 TBSP olive oil. In a separate flat dish (you can use a large plate), add 1/2 C almond flour, 1/2 TBSP salt, 1/2 TBSP pepper, and 1/3 C cashews chopped finely. Mix up the dry mixture with a fork or hands so that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Onto the Chicken. For this recipe I prefer thinly sliced, boneless, skinless chicken breast, cleaned and dried. Dip the dry chicken into the egg mixture and then lay both sides in the flour mixture, covering completely.
Lay on a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 15 minutes.
Walla! Crunchy “chicken fingers” ready in no time.
