Description

This easy chicken tenders recipe features a sweet and savory honey-Dijon coating. Serve them with ranch dressing, ketchup, or honey-Dijon dressing.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, or more as needed
1 pound chicken tenders
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter

Directions

1 Place flour in a shallow dish. Combine honey and Dijon mustard in another shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
2 Season chicken tenders with salt and black pepper. Dredge tenders in flour; shake off excess. Dip into honey-mustard mixture. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides, pressing crumbs into tenders. Place breaded tenders, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining tenders.
3 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add tenders; cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip tenders, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cook until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
