Baked Honey Chipotle Chicken Tenders Recipes

BAKED HONEY CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Arrange chicken tenders in single layer in pan.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and dried onions. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let marinate in fridge for about an hour (I let mine marinate for about 3 hours), turning chicken once, about half way through marinating time.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Remove chicken from fridge, discard plastic wrap, and bake chicken for about 20 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven, turn chicken pieces over, top with sliced green onions, and return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear).

HONEY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Set a wire cooling rack over a jellyroll pan then spray it with cooking spray. In a medium non-stick saucepan, whisk together all the Chipotle Sauce ingredients. Set aside for now. In 3 separate bowls, put the flour in one, whisked eggs in another, and Panko crumbs in the other one. Set aside. Season chicken with a little salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in the flour, then dip into egg, and lastly coat with the bread crumbs. Place coated chicken tenders on the wire rack in the jellyroll pan. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully flip the chicken strips over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until chicken is done and golden. While the chicken strips are baking, bring the sauce mixture to a light boil over medium heat; then reduce heat to low/medium-low and let simmer to reduce and thicken slightly, whisking frequently. When chicken strips are finished baking, dip chicken strips in sauce and serve warm. (Optional, after dipping chicken in the sauce, I placed them back on the rack and oven broiled for a couple of minutes then served.) NOTE: Dipping the chicken in the sauce will soften the Panko coating somewhat, so for a crispier coating you may opt to just spoon the sauce over the chicken at serving time.

HONEY MUSTARD OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Stir mustard, honey, orange juice, garlic together in a glass or ceramic bowl. Transfer 1/4 cup mustard mixture to a bowl to use as a dipping sauce; add chicken to the remaining mustard mixture and toss to coat. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place wire cooling racks onto baking sheets.
• Stir whole wheat flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a shallow bowl. Stir bread crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in another shallow bowl. Place beaten eggs in another shallow bowl.
• Gently press a chicken strip into the flour mixture to coat and shake to remove excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumb mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded chicken strips onto baking sheets prepared with wire cooling racks.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve with reserved mustard sauce.
