Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch sticks, with 1 tbsp olive oil and paprika; spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs and 1/4 tsp salt. Dip chicken tenders in beaten egg (not listed but implied for coating), then press firmly into breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
  3. Step 3: Place chicken on a separate baking sheet and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil; bake for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
  4. Step 4: While chicken bakes, whisk honey, Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp water in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Brush the honey-mustard glaze over chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking until bubbly and sticky.
