Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon kosher salt (plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided)
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (divided)
1 teaspoon onion powder (divided)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (divided)
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup low fat buttermilk*
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins ( or boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 3/4-inch strips (about 12 strips total))
2 cups whole wheat Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 egg whites, lightly beaten (or 1/4 cup liquid egg whites)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey (plus 1 teaspoon, plus additional to taste)
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • For the Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders: In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and honey and whisk until well combined. Add the chicken tenders, toss to coat, then let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Do not allow to sit longer, or the chicken will become too salty.)
  • In a large, shallow dish (a 9x13-inch pan works well), combine the Panko breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Drizzle the oil over the top, then toss to moisten.
  • In a second shallow dish, whisk together the egg whites and mustard.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then place an ovenproof wire rack on top of it. Coat the rack with cooking spray.
  • Arrange the bowls in a line from left to right as follows: egg white dish; Panko breadcrumbs; baking sheet. Working with a few pieces of chicken at a time, with your left hand, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess (this is the "wet" hand). Still with your left hand, dip the chicken into egg mixture, turning to coat all sides, then place in breadcrumb mixture. With your right hand (the "dry" hand), pat the chicken on all sides with the breadcrumbs, pressing them on lightly so that the chicken is well coated. Still with your dry hand, place the chicken on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Repeat for remaining tenders.
  • Bake the chicken until golden brown and the juices run clear, 15-20 minutes.
  • While the chicken bakes, stir the dip ingredients together in a small bowl: Greek yogurt, Dijon, honey, and salt. Taste and add additional honey as desired. Serve chicken hot or at room temperature with the dip.

EVERYDAY FOOD CHICKEN TENDERS WITH CREAMY HONEY MUSTARD



Everyday Food Chicken Tenders With Creamy Honey Mustard image

From April 2007 issue of Everyday Food by Martha Stewart. A VERY QUICK, great rendition of a classic; only a little bit lighter since they are baked, not fried! The honey mustard sauce is very good and I would consider using it as a salad dressing. The magazine suggested serving carrot sticks and celery alongside for dipping; recipe was also recommended great for kids.

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS



Honey-Mustard Chicken Tenders image

The combination of honey and mustard has been around since ancient Egypt and Rome, and midcentury American cooks used it in any number of dishes, from baked chicken to glazed ham. But it wasn't until the 1970s and '80s, when restaurants started pairing the zesty sauce with breaded pieces of boneless chicken, that it became wildly popular. As a coating for chicken, honey mustard not only tastes great, but the acidity in the mustard helps keep the meat juicy. For hot honey mustard chicken tenders, add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne to the honey mustard. For an even quicker dinner, do steps 1 and 2 up to a day ahead. (Refrigerate the chicken and store the toasted panko at room temperature.) Eat the tenders dipped into barbecue sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, or - you guessed it - more honey mustard.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup neutral oil (such as grapeseed or canola)
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Add the panko and oil to the sheet pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir with a fork until evenly moistened. Shake into an even layer. Toast in the oven, stirring with the fork halfway through, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pick up the parchment and use it to funnel the toasted panko into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Set aside to cool. (Reserve the lined sheet pan.)
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the honey and mustard. Pat the chicken dry, then pound with a mallet or heavy skillet into an even thickness (about ⅓-inch thick). Slice lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips. Cut any long strips in half crosswise. (If using chicken tenders, no need to pound or slice.) Season with salt and pepper, then add to the honey mustard and toss to combine.
  • Working with one strip at a time and removing dripping honey mustard, add the chicken to the panko mixture and use your fingers to pack the panko onto all sides of the chicken. (To avoid a big mess, designate one wet hand for touching the chicken and one dry hand for pressing in the panko.) Transfer to the lined sheet pan and repeat.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake, removing from the oven to flip halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the panko is browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

Provided by Jenn_Chelle

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 3-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

peanut oil, for frying
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenders
3 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into long strips and set aside.
  • Beat the 3 eggs in a separate bowl and measure the flour into another separate dish.
  • Measure the panko into a pie plate or shallow bowl and season with garlic powder, lemon-pepper, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  • Dip the chicken strips into the flour, the beaten egg and then dredge them into the seasoned panko.
  • Fry in the hot peanut oil for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown, and remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Serve with honey mustard sauce.
  • For the honey mustard dressing, mix the last five ingredients together in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. The sauce can be held in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use a quality honey mustard. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Look for a honey mustard that is made with real honey and mustard seeds, and avoid brands that use artificial flavors or sweeteners.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken tenders are best when they are cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce. Honey mustard is a classic, but you can also try ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or even ketchup.

Conclusion:

These chicken tenders are a quick and easy meal that the whole family will love. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the honey mustard sauce is the perfect finishing touch. So next time you're looking for a delicious and hassle-free meal, give these chicken tenders a try.
