Healthy Baked Chicken Tenders and Fries

Ingredients

For the chicken tenders

  • 1 package chicken tenders (6-8 tenders)
  • 1/2 box crackers (see above for recommendations)
  • 1 egg

For the sweet potato fries

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • avocado oil (or oil of choice)
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

For the fries

  • Slice sweet potato into fries and place on 1 baking sheet. Drizzle oil and salt and toss until evenly coated. Bake for 30-35 minutes (broil for the last couple if you like them crispy).

For the chicken tenders

  • Add crackers to a blender or food processor and pulse a few times until you reach a thicker course “flour” consistency.
  • Add “bread crumbs” to a wide shallow bowl. Whisk egg in a separate wide shallow bowl.
  • Dip each chicken tender in the egg wash and then the “bread crumbs” and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes, flip, and bake another 8 minutes (may be a couple min more or less depending how thick your tenders are).
  • Serve with condiments of choice. I like ketchup, ranch, honey mustard, etc.!
