Baked Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Sauce
Easy Recipe for Baked Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lb thin sliced chicken breast
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- non-stick cooking spray
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the chicken by cutting it into "tender" strips. If you couldn't find thin sliced chicken breast, carefully cut through each breast horizontally to create the thin slices. Set aside.
- Set up your dipping station.
- Mix the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a shallow dish. I used a pie plate.
- Beat two eggs in a shallow dish or bowl.
- Put the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
- Begin dipping your chicken: flour, then eggs, then panko. Repeat with each strip, placing the coated chicken on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Wash your hands! Raw chicken can have bacteria. Eww.
- Give the prepared chicken a light spritz with the non-stick cooking spray.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until golden. I used a thermometer to check for doneness. It is cooked at 165 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, you can cut into one of the thicker pieces. It is done if it is not pink anywhere.
- Prepare your dipping sauce by combining the mayonnaise, mustard, and honey mixing until completely combined.
