Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle generously over both sides of the chicken tenders. Wrap each tender lovingly with a slice of bacon and arrange in the center of the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Artfully arrange the halved asparagus spears on one side of the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to your liking, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. (3 minutes)

04

Step

On the other side of the chicken, nestle the riced cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, pausing halfway through to gently stir the cauliflower and asparagus, ensuring even cooking. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Switch the oven to broil and cook until the bacon is irresistibly browned and sizzling, and the chicken is cooked through, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken tender should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (3 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from the oven and generously drizzle the chicken tenders with Buffalo-style hot sauce, allowing the flavors to meld. Serve immediately, savoring the harmonious blend of textures and tastes, or divide into storage containers for a delightful meal prep option. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken tenders in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to substitute the asparagus with other keto-friendly vegetables like broccoli florets, green beans, or bell peppers.
Adjust the amount of Buffalo-style hot pepper sauce to suit your spice preference. A drizzle of blue cheese dressing or ranch adds a cooling contrast.
