Ingredients
Salad ingredients
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 3 celery stalks chopped
- ¾ cup cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrots shredded
Crispy Chicken Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
- 1 large egg whisked
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup buffalo sauce
- Ranch or dill dressing optional for serving
Instructions
- In a large serving bowl, arrange the salad ingredients. Set in fridge.
- Whisk the egg in a small shallow bowl and in another shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once oil is sizzling hot, dip a piece of chicken in the egg, shaking off excess, then coat with the dry mixture, and place in the skillet. Repeat with all chicken pieces.
- Cook the chicken filets on one side until golden brown, about 3 mins. Cook on the second side until golden brown on the outside and cooked through inside. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Set cooked chicken pieces in a large bowl.
- Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken and coat to combine. Then, place the chicken on a cutting board to cut it into pieces.
- Divide the salad between 4 plates. Arrange chicken on the salad, drizzling any leftover sauce over the top. Serve right away with ranch or dill dressing if desired.
Notes
Tapioca flour can be used in place of cornstarch.
Store leftover chicken in an air-tight container and use it within 2 days.
Chicken tenders - I can usually find those fresh chicken tenders in my local grocery store among the other types of chicken. But if you can't find them, no prob. Just use regular chicken breasts and cut them into smaller pieces so they cook faster
