Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, these Hemp Crusted Chicken Tenders are a healthy alternative to your conventional chicken nuggets. Coated in almonds, oats and hemp seeds, they pack the punch in protein, fiber and loads of other great nutrients. They taste even better when cooked in an air fryer (if you have access to one).
