Ingredients:
2 lbs. chicken tenders
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1 cup chopped pecans
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. fresh ground pepper
Dash of poultry seasoning
Light olive oil for cooking
Non- stick foil
Large cookie sheet
Food processor or blender
For dipping sauce:
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. pancake syrup
1 ½ tbsp. spicy brown mustard
Directions:
To make the coating mix, add the panko breadcrumbs and chopped pecans to a food
processor or blender and pulse until both are well blended. Stir in the salt, pepper, and poultry
seasoning.
Add each tender to the beaten egg and then dredge in the
breading mixture coating both sides. Set
aside.
Line a large cookie sheet with non-stick foil and coat with
a couple tablespoons of light olive oil, spreading it out thinly. Place the breaded chicken fingers on the
prepared cookie sheet leaving space between each of them.
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes, turning them to
the other side when halfway done. Cook
until the chicken fingers read 160 degrees on a meat thermometer.
Dipping sauce:
Add the honey, pancake syrup and spicy brown mustard in a
small bowl. Mix well and serve with the
chicken.
