Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees, line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish combine the almond meal, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow dish whisk together the egg and egg white.
Dip each chicken tender in the egg wash until it is completely coated then place it in the almond meal mixture coating it completely.
Shake off any excess almond meal, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process until all of the chicken tenders are coated.
