Ingredients

Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup Sliced almonds
1/4 cup Whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Dry mustard
1/4 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
4 Egg whites
1 pound Chicken tenders

Preparation

Preheat oven to 475. 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.
