By baking the chicken in the mixture of these low-carb flours it cuts the calorie count in half and has 80% less fat, but still tastes delicious. Serve with a side of vegetables and a salad for a balanced and healthy meal.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13″x9″ baking pan with coconut oil.
In a medium bowl whisk the eggs, apricot preserves, mustard, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
In another medium bowl combine the almond flour, almond meal, coconut flour, pepper, thyme, paprika and salt.
Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture, then dredge through the flour mixture. Place in the prepared pan.

Serve with a side of sugar-free BBQ sauce or organic honey mustard.
