Does your family love chicken tenders?
If so, making a delicious family-friendly Keto Zone meal just got easier!
This recipe is a great alternative to conventional fried chicken tenders.
Fried foods are strictly avoided on healthy ketogenic diet. When most oils are heated to high temperatures they begin to oxidize and go rancid.
That is why this recipe is oven-baked so you can avoid the dangerous oxidation of oils caused by frying foods.
Most conventional chicken tenders are also breaded with inflammatory and carb heavy wheat flour.
These chicken tenders, on the other hand, are made with organic coconut flakes and chopped almonds, so they have both nutrition and flavor without added carbs!
