MEAL 27: MUSTARD PRETZEL & PORK CRUMB CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS | MUSTARD COBB SALAD

It really doesn’t matter what season it is this meal is delicious any time of year! Simple but oh so tasty is a family favorite of ours Pretzel Crusted Chicken Tenders and Cobb salad.

Quite a few substitutions in here to make the dish healthier and keto friendly (for the lazy ketos who will save their carbs for the pretzels). Using stevia drops instead of a ton of honey, pork rind break crumbs instead of regular panko, and almond flour instead of white flour! All easy alternatives that you would never notice!

Check out the recipe below and let me know if you fall in love with it as much as we have!
