One of the greatest sports weekends of the year is here, and while it may be tempting to dig into all of the greasy, tasty snack food placed in front of you, you may be left with more regret than the people who pick Villanova as their champion last year only to watch them lose to NC State in the second round.
Instead, gorging and eating junk, try these Oven Baked Parmesan Chicken Tenders. They will satisfy your cravings and leave you feeling light and healthy! They are gluten free, dairy free and damn delicious!Â
