Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup bread crumbs (plain or seasoned)
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup honey
½ cup Dijon mustard

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one filled with bread crumbs.
Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Dip each strip first in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, and finally coat it in bread crumbs.
Arrange the coated chicken on the baking sheet without overlapping.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
While baking, mix equal parts honey and Dijon mustard for the dipping sauce. Serve tenders hot with dipping sauce.
