1. 1/4 cup coconut flour

5. 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon ground smoked paprika

9. 1 pound chicken tenderloins 6-8 pieces
10.1/4 cup olive oil or a beaten egg
Directions
1. On plate or shallow container, mix coconut flour, Parmesan and spices with a fork.
2. Pour olive oil (or beaten egg) in small container. Drench each tenderloin in olive oil then gently press each chicken tenderloin in coconut flour mixture.
3. Spray extra olive oil over the coating until wet to prevent dryness.
4. Ensure each tenderloin is completely covered with coating then place on a rack inside shallow baking pan.
5. Spraying extra olive oil on top prevents dry coating.
6. Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes then flip each tenderloin.
