Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups cheddar crackers, such as Cheez-It or Cheese Nips
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/4 pound chicken tenders
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup all-purpose flour
Ranch dressing, ketchup or honey mustard, for dipping

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with the olive oil.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cups cheddar crackers, such as Cheez-Its or Cheese Nips
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/4 lbs uncooked chicken tenders
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F with the rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with the olive oil.
  • Pulse the cheddar crackers in a food processor until finely ground, or alternately, place the crackers in a plastic bag, seal it and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers. Transfer the crackers to a wide, shallow bowl and stir in the paprika.
  • In a separate wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs with the Dijon mustard. Place the flour in a third wide, shallow bowl.
  • Bread each tender by coating it in the flour, shaking off any excess, and then dipping it in the eggs. Transfer the tender from the eggs to the crackers, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to ensure an even coating, and then placing the tender on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the breading process with the remaining tenders, arranging them in a single layer about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the tenders, turning them over once, until they're golden brown, about 15 minutes total.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS



Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders image

After reviewing several oven-fried, baked chicken recipes, I created this spicy, savory, slightly sweet, crispy baked chicken without any added salt. Using a cooking rack inside the baking dish helps to keep the chicken crispy on all sides and prevent the chicken from getting soggy on the bottom.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
⅔ cup grainy Dijon mustard
¼ cup honey
¼ cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
1 cup cornflake crumbs
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced onion flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a cooking rack inside a baking dish and spray both with cooking spray.
  • Combine flour, garlic powder, and pepper in a flat dish; stir until evenly combined. Stir mustard, honey, egg substitute, and hot sauce together in a small bowl.
  • Combine cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion flakes, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper in another flat dish; stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Dip chicken tenders into the flour mixture until coated evenly, then dip into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess liquid. Drag the chicken through the bread crumb mixture, covering evenly.
  • Place chicken on the prepared cooking rack. Spray the chicken with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
