Ingredients for Chicken Strips
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ cup whole-wheat flour
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- ¼ cup light mayonnaise

- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
- Combine egg whites and water in a shallow dish. Place flour in a second shallow dish. Combine panko, almond meal, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne in a third shallow dish. One piece at a time, dip chicken in the flour, then in the egg, then in the crumb mixture to coat. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
