Healthy Baked Chicken Strips
Recently, I worked up an almond flour chicken tender recipe that was breaded, spiced and delicious. I wanted to give it another shot without breading to see if I could make it as good. Of course I succeeded! Using a ranch seasoning and simple buffalo sauce made wonders. A much different recipe than my buffalo chicken thighs were I created a spice rub. Here we get nothing but that garlic loved flavor that comes with ranch seasoning.

Is Chicken Healthy

This is not a straight forward question for one individual. Yet, simply put yes it is. When it comes to allergic reactions they are very minimus in meat sources. In fact, an easy way to see what you’re allergic to is to take everything out except meat. Where the chicken comes from is a factor. Whether or not the chicken was pasture raised meaning it had free roam. Also, whether the chicken was pumped full of hormones as well.

How To Make Healthy Baked Chicken Strips

To start, make your marinade of a ranch seasoning and buffalo sauce. I like to use Primal Kitchen products but any buffalo sauce will do. As far as ranch seasoning I use this one or for something quick I will just pick up a pack of Hidden Valley seasoning.

In a mixing bowl add marinade and chicken strips. Mix around and make sure everything is evenly coated.

On an oven rack or onto a baking sheet lay down chicken strips giving space between each. This insures no sticking. The rack however will allow air flow and will keep the chicken juices from washing away any flavoring.

Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Strips will be done and juicy. You can serve immediately but note they will be hot. Dip in more buffalo sauce or a ranch dressing.

Helpful Recipe Tips

  • Take note of the salt/sodium levels in your ranch seasoning. Any buffalo sauce you choose unless homemade will be very salty. The seasoning I used in this recipe was salt free so I added 1/2 tsp of salt. If I used Hidden Valley I wouldn’t dare use any salt at all.
  • Oven rack or baking sheet? You can make this recipe with either. Due to no breading, using a oven rack will not produce a crispy chicken strip. I like the oven rack for more even cooking.

Hi, I'm Darius. I am aware that I'm rather young but I started caring about my health years ago. I think it's truly important because at a young age I knew the food they were feeding us was complete b.s, can I curse up here?
