Chicken strips are a popular fast-food appetizer made from crispy, breaded chicken fingers. Homemade strips made with this recipe are just as delicious and crispy, but healthier. The chicken is cut into strips and breaded in a mixture of toasted almonds, sesame seeds, spices, and herbs. This breading is Whole30-compliant. Grill the strips and serve with a romesco sauce made from roasted bell peppers, tomato paste, and olive oil, topped with the same almond mixture used to bread the chicken.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to grill mode. Place a rack on a baking sheet.
- In a food processor, pulse the almonds, parsley, garlic powder, sesame seeds, thyme, and 1 tablespoon salt until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs and all the almonds are finely chopped. Transfer 3/4 cup of the mixture to a shallow breading bowl; reserve the rest in the food processor.
