Crispy Coconut Almond Chicken Tenders

Chicken tenders are an actual staple in my house. I love breading the chicken in things with flavor especially something with lots of flavors. This recipe adds a sweet and nutty flavoring to the chicken. What could be better? Or if you are looking for an air fryer recipe, try these Air Fried version
