Panko Chicken Tenders With Lemon Nut Dipping Sauce Recipes

HONEY MUSTARD-PANKO CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly coat a large baking dish with oil.
• Prepare chicken tenders: Mix panko, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a medium bowl. Mix mustard, honey, and olive oil together in a small bowl.
• Slice chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets. Cut each fillet into strips. Dip chicken strips in the mustard mixture, then coat in the panko, and place in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tenders are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, turning over halfway through.
• Prepare sauce: Mix garlic, mustard, honey, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Serve sauce with chicken tenders.

BAKED PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
• In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
• Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.

PANKO CHICKEN TENDERS WITH LEMON-NUT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and pepper with a fork in a bowl. Beat egg in a second bowl. Place panko in a third bowl.
• Dust chicken tenders with flour mixture to coat. Drench in egg, then in panko until completely coated.
• Bring oil up to sizzling in a large frying pan. Add tenders and fry until golden brown on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Remove tenders to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add walnuts and saute for 1 minute. Transfer walnut-butter mixture to a food processor; add lemon juice and parsley. Pulse or puree to preferred consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with warm tenders.
