Instructions
Chicken Tenders
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place an oven-safe baking rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly spray with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, add flour, salt, and pepper mix together.
- In a medium bowl, add eggs, water and whisk together.
- In a large bowl, add bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder and mix together.
- Dip chicken into flour, tossing to coat. Shake off excess. Dip into the egg wash, and then finally into panko breadcrumbs, using your hands to help panko coat chicken strips.
- Place breaded chicken tenders onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until coating is golden brown and chicken is cooked through when chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If you prefer a darker coating, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately. ENJOY!
Honey Mustard Sauce

Notes
You can also use chicken breasts: It is much cheaper to purchase boneless, skinless chicken breast, just cut into 1-inch strips.
Air-Fryer Instructions: Bread the chicken tenders as directed and spray with cooking spray. Preheat your air-fryer to 400 degrees and cook for 5 minutes on each side.
