Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut 1 lb of chicken breasts into 1-inch wide strips.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika.
  3. Step 3: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in another shallow bowl. In a third bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
  4. Step 4: Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with the panko mixture.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the coated chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over them.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are crispy and chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  7. Step 7: Meanwhile, stir together 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard until smooth to make the dipping sauce.
  8. Step 8: Serve the hot chicken tenders alongside the honey mustard dip for a kid-friendly meal.
