Ingredients




1 cup Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice GF cereal
1 cup Erewhon Corn Flakes
1/2 pound organic chicken tenders
1/4 teaspoon Za'atar
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup milk or unsweetened non-dairy beverage

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350. 2 Butter or use olive oil spray on a cookie sheet. 3 Place cereal in a plastic bag and crush it along counter top. 4 You can use your food processor if you have one too. 5 Crush / grind until desired consistency, resembling small broken flakes and meal-like consistency. 6 I used two kinds of gluten free cereal for better texture and flavor.) 7 Once you've got the consistency down, add in the spices and cilantro. Shake the bag until your ingredients have well blended. 8 In a small bowl, add and whisk the egg and milk until combined. 9 Empty your bag of spiced crumb mixture onto a plate. 10 Pick up one chicken tender and soak in the egg / milk combination. 11 Next dredge it through the crumbs on one side of the tender before flipping it to the other side. 12 Make sure to check all sides of the tender to ensure it's adequately coated with crumb mixture. 13 Set on cookie sheet. 14 Repeat with the other chicken tenders until all of them are coated with crumb mixture. 15 Place chicken tenders in oven for 25 minutes. 16 Enjoy!

About


Gluten Free doesn't have to be boring! This recipe was born out of a desire for a healthier "fried" chicken tender that is baked, crunchy and full of flavor.
