During the summer months I’m all about grilling and fresh salads filled with seasonal ingredients; however as the weather cools down I crave comfort food. And my family is totally on board with comfort food! Who isn’t? But many recipes that are warm and comforting also tend to be heavier and full of calories, which isn’t great. Well, meet the new chick on the block: delicious CAULIPOWER frozen chicken tenders!

What’s So Great About These New Healthy Baked Chicken Tenders?

The golden, crispy coating of CAULIPOWER Chicken Tenders is veggie-forward, packed with cauliflower and other gluten-free goodness.

In fact, they have 86% less fat than any other chicken tender or nugget. You can eat the whole darn bag for only 490 calories!

There are original and spicy(ish) varieties available. The original chicken tenders have no artificial ingredients, zero saturated fat, zero added sugar, 30% fewer net carbs, 22% more protein, and 21% more fiber than the category average. They are made with premium chicken that are all-natural, raised with no antibiotics ever, and cage-free.
