First, you’ll want to grab some chicken breasts and cut them into small once-inch pieces. Then, place them off to the side and start mixing your wet ingredients. To give these little morsels a tiny bit of sweetness, you can add a bit of honey to a beaten egg.

Place the chicken bites into the egg mixture to dredge them. While they’re soaking in the egg mix, you can start to create your coating.

For the coating, simply whisk together some almond flour with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Place each piece of chicken in the coating and roll it around to make sure it covers each piece entirely. Place the chicken on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

And just like that, you’ll have juicy little tenders that are perfect to enjoy with homemade homemade Paleo condiments like BBQ sauce, mustard, or ketchup.

Tip: They make the perfect toppers to a fresh salad – but be careful, these are seriously addicting!
