Panko Crusted Chicken Tenders with Lily’s Honey Mustard Sauce
For the Sweet Potato Oven Fries:
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 12 wedges
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray two large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together potatoes and oil and season well with salt and pepper.
Pour onto prepared baking sheets and bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes until browned on one side. Flip over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until browned on both sides. Serve with Panko Crusted chicken fingers.
For the Panko Crusted Chicken Fingers:
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips) or tenders
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tsp. cumin, or more to taste (you can use whatever spices you like)
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
Dash hot sauce
cooking spray
For Lily’s Honey Mustard Sauce:
¼ cup mustard
¼ cup honey
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
2. In a shallow dish, season the crumbs with salt and pepper and cumin or whatever spices you like. In a second shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs and milk and season with hot sauce (if desired)
3. Dredge strips first in egg mixture, shaking off any excess, then coat them with the bread crumb mixture. Arrange on the baking sheet.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Mix the sauce ingredients together while chicken is cooking.
