We’re ditching the eggs and the gluten for this healthier take on what has become an American classic, the chicken nugget. You’ll still get the crispy, crunchy outer layer thanks to a combination of organic flaxseed meal and finely chopped organic almonds. You’ll never eat fast-food nuggets again!

8 chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces

1/2 cup Gluten Free Flour

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon Liquid Coconut Cooking Oil, Organic

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 cup finely chopped Almonds, Organic, Raw & Unsalted
