Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 whole eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare three separate bowls for breading: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat each chicken strip first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Arrange the coated chicken strips on a baking sheet in a single layer.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
6. While the chicken bakes, prepare the honey mustard sauce by whisking together the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
7. Serve the freshly baked chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce on the side.
