You start out the week with a clear meal plan. You’ve got designated meals on designated days. But some days, whether it’s because of the smell of a coworkers lunch or an ad on TV or in a magazine, cravings strike! You find yourself with an overwhelming desire to eat chicken tenders, one of your childhood favorites. But, since you’re no longer seven years old, you avoid the heavy-breaded strips because it’s not good for your stomach—or your waistline. But this paleo, grownup version is just what you need to satisfy your appetite. And it takes less than 30 minutes to make!
