Our Chicken Fingers recipe here is a delicious family meal particularly if you’re wanting to give the breadcrumbs a wide berth. We have used almond meal instead of breadcrumbs along with some beautiful herbs and spices for real flavour. Because we use almond meal instead of breadcrumbs, you will find this meal really satisfies and will keep you going for ages. Fab energy food!
For a family dinner, simply serve the chicken fingers with some lightly steamed vegetables or some hot sweet potato chips. Use leftover chicken pieces as super handy (and hearty) snacks for the next couple of days (though, trust us, they won’t last). If they do happen to last, they will keep in the fridge perfectly well for about 3 days. This recipe is particularly awesome for school lunch boxes.
Add some variety by adding in different herbs, spices and even cheeses (if you’re not paleo).
