Primal chicken tenders with jalapeño cilantro chimichurri salad

I saw a lady eating fried chicken tender salad the other day and I wanted one too.  So, I came home and made my own rendition, but primalized!!
1. Beat up some chicken breasts with a mallat until flat, cut into strips.
2. get out 3 small (cereal size) bowls
    a. 3 egg whites
    b. almond flour 1/2 a cup or so
    c. coconut shavings and ground flax seeds to calm down some of the coconut flavor, but flax is not necessary.
3. Dip each strip in the bowls
4. lightly saute in a pan with oil, I used grapeseed oil, for 3-5 on each side.
5. Lay on a bed of lettuce after cooking.
6. Begin Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri Sauce
1. In a blender or chopper or food processer
    add: one bunch of cilantro, 1 red bell pepper, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp of white vinegar
2. Serve!

The best part is that I can eat this healthy salad while my non-dieting partner can eat the same chicken tenders with gravy and mashed potatoes and he is super stoked that I cooked his favorite meal!
