Tortilla Chip Crusted Chicken Tenders With Honey Mustard Food

TORTILLA CHIP-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place tortilla chips in a food processor or mini food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Pour into a pie plate or shallow dish and stir in garlic powder and cumin.
• In a large bowl, combine egg and chicken and toss well to coat. One at a time, remove chicken tenders from egg, allowing excess to drain off. Dredge in crushed chips, pressing gently to adhere, and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Spray chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 425°F until chicken is done and breading is lightly browned, about 15 minutes (chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F).
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, mustard, honey, and cayenne, if desired. Serve sauce with chicken.
• Serving size: 2 chicken tenders and about 2 tbsp sauce

POTATO CHIP-CRUSTED CHICKEN STRIPS WITH HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• In a bowl or baking dish, add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground mustard and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper and stir to combine. Beat the eggs in a separate baking dish. Finely crush the potato chips in their bag or in a separate resealable bag. Pour into a bowl or baking dish.
• Sprinkle the chicken with 2 teaspoons salt. Dip the chicken in the seasoned flour and coat completely, then into the egg mixture until completely coated. Finally, dip the chicken into the potato chips, making sure the chips stick to the whole surface. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
• For the honey mustard sauce: While the chicken is baking, mix together the honey, mayonnaise, Dijon, yellow mustard, whole-grain mustard and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season with salt as desired. Serve with the chicken.

SPICY CHICKEN TENDERS WITH HONEY-MUSTARD

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet liberally with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
• Honey-Mustard: In a small serving bowl, mix together the honey and mustard until smooth. Set aside.
• Breading: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and 1 tablespoon salt. In a second medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and hot sauce. In a third medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, chili powder and cayenne pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour and then into the egg mixture. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off and coat the chicken in the cornmeal mixture. Arrange the breaded chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, to taste. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 15 to 17 minutes.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter and serve the honey-mustard alongside.

CORN-TORTILLA-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse tortillas until mixture resembles coarse meal. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a medium bowl. Put flour on a plate and pour buttermilk into a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Coat in buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge in tortilla crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to large platter or baking sheet.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. In two batches, cook chicken until cooked through and crust is golden, about 12 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to paper towels or a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. In a small bowl, stir together mustard and honey until well combined. Serve chicken tenders with dip.

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS

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.
