Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. In a second bowl, beat 2 large eggs. In a third bowl, place 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs.
- Step 2: Dip each of the 1 lb chicken breast tenders first into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Arrange the breaded tenders on the prepared baking sheet and spray them lightly with olive oil spray.
- Step 3: Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and coating is golden and crispy.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp lemon juice in a small bowl to make the honey mustard dip. Serve the baked chicken fingers warm with the dip on the side.
