Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup panko breadcrumbs with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until smooth. Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a third bowl for dredging.
  3. Step 3: Dip each of the 1 lb chicken tenders first into flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the coated tenders on the baking sheet and drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over them. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth for the honey mustard dip.
  6. Step 6: Remove tenders from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.
