What are you making for dinner tonight? How about the healthiest, tastiest chicken tenders you ever did have! Imagine me as the KFC's Colonel Sanders saying this to you. I know their slogan is "nobody does chicken like KFC" which is true, others do it BETTER.

These are made with 4 ingredients: chicken, honey mustard, pistachios, almond flour. You got those? Then give this a try and tell me what you think!
