Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Prepare three shallow bowls for breading the chicken: In the first bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, and honey. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, ensuring the mixture is evenly coated.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Working one at a time, dredge each tender in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured tenders into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press the tenders into the breadcrumb mixture, thoroughly covering all sides. Lightly press to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Place the breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out so they cook evenly.
Lightly spray the top of the chicken tenders with cooking spray to promote browning and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as extra honey mustard or ranch.
