Crunchy Sunflower-Crusted Chicken Tenders
Enjoy tender chicken coated in a crunchy, sunflower seed crust that brings a lovely nutty flavor and satisfying texture. This dish is lightly seasoned and baked to perfection for a clean, protein-packed meal ideal for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Tenderloin
2 large Egg Whites
2 tbsp Sunflower Seeds, Hulled
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
Seasonings to taste (Garlic Powder, Salt, Pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and garlic powder.
In another bowl, combine sunflower seeds (pulse them slightly in a food processor or crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin until they are coarse but not powdery), whole wheat flour, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Dip each chicken tender first in the egg whites, ensuring an even coating, then dredge in the sunflower seed mixture, pressing gently so the mix adheres well.
Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, lightly spray the tenders with cooking spray to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crunchy.
Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, crunchy meal.
