For extra crispy tenders, lightly spray the panko-coated chicken with cooking spray before baking. Adjust the honey and mustard ratio in the sauce to your preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. These tenders are also delicious served over a salad or in wraps. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly coat a large baking dish with oil. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare chicken tenders: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepSlice chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets. Cut each fillet into strips. Dip chicken strips in the mustard mixture, then coat evenly in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place in the prepared baking dish. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them over halfway through for even browning. (Cook time: 20 minutes)
05
StepPrepare sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 4 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepServe the crispy chicken tenders immediately with the honey mustard sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
