[Protein Mini-course] Day 3

Eat Your Veggies

One of the biggest challenges with meal prep is finding the time.

Whether it’s work, school, kids or all of the above, finding the time to get a healthy meal on the dinner table can be a challenge for most people.

So today, I wanted to share a quick and simple recipe that everyone in the family will love: “Better For You Chicken Tenders.”

This delicious, protein-packed recipe is courtesy of The Give Program, a charitable organization that provides access to healthy protein sources while helping small, locally owned gyms and fitness studios get back on their feet during some difficult times.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of pasture raised chicken breast, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • ½ cup brown rice flour and ½ cup almond flour, seasoned to taste (1 tablespoon of Primal Kitchen BBQ sauce works great!)
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Cover baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking oil
  • Dip each piece of chicken in the egg and dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess
  • Arrange chicken on baking sheet
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes each side (or until chicken’s internal temperature is 165 degrees)
  • Enjoy as-is or with your favorite barbecue sauce or dipping sauce

I hope you enjoy this delicious, healthy, protein-packed recipe courtesy of The Give Program … and that you’ve enjoyed our Protein Mini-Course.
