Bringing a clean and healthy twist to a childhood favorite!!

Ingredients
12-16 oz chicken breast (Cut into Tenders)
2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
pinch of sea salt
1 cup raw almonds (blended in food processor to make it crumbly)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
fresh ground pepper to taste (I use a ton!)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray baking sheet with olive oil spray
Combine lemon juice, mustard, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a small bowl
Put blended almonds on larger plate or bowl
Dip chicken tenders in mustard mixture, then immediately dip in almonds (making sure to cover the entire tender!)
Place on baking sheet, bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until cooked through (depends on the thickness of the tenders)
OPTIONAL: Place cooked chicken tenders under broiler for a few minutes to toast the almonds
