Chicken tenders are such a crowd-pleaser, especially when kids are in the mix, that it’s hard to imagine giving up those yummy bites in the name of low-carb eating. Thanks to the recipe below, you don’t have to. Take it from me, these crispy nuggets are sure to please everyone at your table.
I like to offer a low-carb dipping sauce — like a chipotle aioli or homemade barbecue sauce — to go with these. A fresh, crisp coleslaw or garden salad makes a nice accompaniment. To further enhance the flavor, pair the tenders with carrot and celery sticks, and both red-hot wing sauce and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
