Healthy Homemade Chicken Tender

ramengirl (76)in #recipe • 4 years ago

Hi guys :) Don't you usually think of a fast-food or frozen food first when you think about chicken tenders? To me, chicken tenders were always far from healthy. So I wanted to make healthy chicken tender at home using oats, black rice, and lentils instead of flours. And I baked it in the oven instead of frying them.

I was shocked because the chicken just melted in my mouth just like tuna or salmon! It was soooo tender and the taste was even better than fried ones!
