Easy Baked Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard

I made this recipe a lot last year, it's healthier than frying and really good!

EASY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD

• Vegetable cooking spray (such as I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!®)

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken tenders, cut into 1/2-inch strips lengthwise

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place egg in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top freezer bag and mix well. Dip 2 chicken strips into egg and then place into bread crumb mixture and shake to coat. Place coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 3

Spray each chicken tender with cooking spray 2 times.

Step 4

Bake tenders in the preheated oven for 7 minutes; flip, continue to bake on opposite side until no longer pink in the centers, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven.

Step 5

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 6

Broil tenders in the preheated oven for extra crunch, about 2 minutes more.
