Let’s get this week started with an easy dinner recipe reminiscent of something we probably all grew up eating. Crispy, crunchy, chicken tenders. Instead of making traditional crunchy baked chicken tenders, I decided to upgrade mine and add everything bagel seasoning to them. These Everything Bagel Chicken Tenders will satisfy both the kid and adult in you!
There’s many ways to make chicken tenders or chicken nuggets. You can fry them, although I prefer not to go this route. You can still get crispy chicken tenders through baking and you don’t have to mess with frying or the extra calories. Then of course there’s my least favorite method, opening a box of them from the freezer section at the grocery store.
EVERYTHING BAGEL CHICKEN TENDERS
yield : 4 Servings
prep time: 15 Minutes
cook time: 15 Minutes
total time: 30 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
CHICKEN TENDERS:
- 1 1/4 pounds chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup panko or gluten-free panko
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1 egg
MAPLE MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE:
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400° F. and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. If using foil spray it with cooking spray.
- Take two pie plates or shallow bowls. Crack an egg in one, add a splash of water and whisk together. Add the panko and everything bagel seasoning to the other and combine.
- Take several chicken tenders and coat them in the egg wash. Use a fork to move them into the panko mixture and toss them around until coated. Place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Repeat the process until all the chicken is coated.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on their size. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature is 165° F.
- While the chicken bakes whisk together the ingredients for the dipping sauce. Serve with the finished chicken tenders.
