Spicy Baked Chicken Tenders

Are you in the mood for some delicious and healthy chicken tenders?! --- then you must try these, they are DELICIOUS.  This former picky eater was in chicken heaven when these made their way onto my plate!

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts cut into tenders (about 3 oz each)
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 egg whites **
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (I use Sriracha)
• 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375. 
2. Spray cooking spray on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or tin foil.
3. Place flour, garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder on a plate and mix well
4. Add egg whites and sriracha to another plate and mix well
5. Pour bread crumbs into a third plate
6. Dip the chicken in the flour, shake excess off. 
7. Dip in egg white/hot sauce mixture. 
8. Roll into bread crumbs. 
9. Place on cookie sheet.
10. When all the tenders are on the baking sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray 
11. Place in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. 
12. Optional: Turn the broiler on in on your oven for 1-2 minutes to get the tops browned before removing.

**The first time I made this recipe I was out of eggs, so I used a Vegan approved subsititon for eggs as follows: 1 tablespoon of milled flax seed with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg white you need

Enjoy!!! Let me know yours thoughts!!
