Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish.
  2. Step 2: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a separate shallow bowl and 2 beaten large eggs in another. Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into eggs, and finally coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Step 3: Arrange coated chicken tenders in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray each tender with olive oil spray to encourage crisping.
  4. Step 4: Bake tenders for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth to make the honey mustard sauce.
  6. Step 6: Serve the warm chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
