  4. Step 4: Arrange chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  6. Step 6: While chicken bakes, whisk together 3 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Step 7: Remove chicken from oven and brush generously with honey-mustard glaze. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
