Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 400° F.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together hemp, ground almonds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne until evenly combined.

Step 4

Set up your dipping stations in this order: (1) chicken strips (2) whisked eggs (3) hemp breading (4) parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Dip each chicken strip in the eggs until they are completely covered, then give them a little shake to let any extra eff drip off.

Step 6

Add the chicken strip to the hemp mixture, and gently toss until the chicken strip is completely covered.

Step 7

Remove and transfer the chicken strip to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 8

Give the chicken strips a good shot of cooking spray so that they are all lightly covered.

Step 9

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and no longer pink inside and the breading is golden.

Step 10

Remove and serve warm with your desired dipping sauce.
