How to Make Almond Crusted Chicken Fingers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine the crushed almonds, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
  4. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the egg-coated chicken in the almond mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust.
  6. Place the breaded chicken fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or BBQ sauce.
