Chicken Tenders Recipe

This baked chicken tenders recipe is one of my 'go to recipes' when I'm running late, and everyone wants dinner NOW!

I pay a little extra for chicken breasts that are already cut into "tenders" (strips) to save time. But if you want to save a little money, just make your own tenders by cutting chicken breasts into strips about one-inch wide and three inches long.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup regular mustard
  • 1/4 cup apricot jelly
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Preparation:

  1. Season chicken with kosher salt.

  2. Place Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Toss with paprika.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  4. Brush Dijon mustard all over both sides of chicken tenders with a pastry brush.

  5. Dip each chicken tender in Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing lightly to coat on both sides.

  6. Place chicken tenders in skillet in a single layer, being careful not to crowd them. Cook 5-7 minutes, turning halfway through, until chicken is cooked through.

  7. Combine remaining ingredients in a small serving bowl. Serve chicken tenders with apricot mustard dipping sauce.
