Ingredients
One of the things I love about cooking (rather than baking) is that it's not an exact science. So, although the recipe for these paleo chicken tenders has specific measurements, I urge you to play around with the quantities. Even add or subtract spices as you see fit!
My recipe includes the following ingredients:
- chicken breasts
- blanched almond flour
- curry powder
- garlic powder
- salt
- avocado oil
All of the ingredients are paleo friendly, keto and whole30 approved. If you don't or can't eat nuts then feel free to swap the almond flour for ground flax.
How to Make Baked Curry Chicken Tenders
First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with avocado oil.
In a small bowl, combine almond flour, curry powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Remove the chicken from its packaging and coat the chicken strips in the almond flour mixture.
Place the chicken strips on the greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
After cooking, remove the chicken from the oven, cool slightly and serve.
This recipe serves 2-4 people, depending on how many chicken tenders you have...and whether you're serving adults or children.
Storage
Place any leftover in a sealed, air-tight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can re-heat leftovers in the microwave or oven.

Really wonderful! Perfect amount of seasoning and cook time was spot on. Tenders came out fully cooked and tender. Great for my toddler too, who liked dipping his pieces in plain Greek yogurt (he also loves just about anything curry flavored).
