Ingredients
  

Chicken Tenders

  • 1 lb Chicken Tenders
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 cup Water

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Mayo
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup Honey

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

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.

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.
