- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and unsweetened almond milk to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to ensure an even coating.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the coated chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer chicken tenders to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.
Step 7
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sandwich toppings. Slice the tomato and avocado.
Step 8
To assemble the sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each paleo-friendly bun.
Step 9
Layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, a crispy chicken tender, slices of tomato, and avocado.
Step 10
Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately to enjoy your Paleo Crispy Chicken Tender Sandwich.
