Ingredients
- canola oil cooking spray shopping list
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds shopping list
- 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
- 4 egg whites (see Ingredient note) shopping list

How to make it
- 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.
- To freeze put in ziplock bags, then just take out and heat in the over until warm on the day of serving.

Hi
I have done this with whole chicken pieces. I like the idea of making chicken fingers though. Great recipe. Rachel Ray gave me the idea by the way! During her low carb faze.
