Chicken Tenders and “Fries”

This is a great recipe for all the mom’s out there who need a good healthy wholesome alternative to frozen store-bought chicken nuggets. It’s not only a great meal for kids, but also for the whole family!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breast (sliced into strips)
• 2 Tbsp avocado oil
• 1/2 cup oats (quick)
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 6 Carrots (peeled and sliced into fries)
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 3 Tbsp raw honey

.

1.  Preheat your oven to 400.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Brush chicken strips with some avocado oil (I use the avo oil spray to make this easier)
4. Combine oats, Italian seasoning, + sea salt and spread over a small plate.
5. Press both sides of chicken strips into the mixture and then lay on a baking sheet.
6. Toss the carrots in the avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Spread on a baking sheet.

*Note: You can also use sweet potatoes instead of carrots.

7. Put pans in the oven for 30 mins, flipping chicken and carrots halfway through.
8. 5 minutes out, combine your dijon and honey to make the dipping sauce.

Makes: ~ 3-4 servings

Notes:

If you don’t have quick oats on hand, you can put some rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse for a quick minute.
