Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (roughly 2 large chicken breasts)
- 2/3 cup almond meal or breadcrumbs*
- 3 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or see above for recipe)
- 1 large egg
- salt and pepper
For the honey dijon dipping sauce:
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
*Be sure to use almond meal NOT almond flour – breadcrumbs also work great here!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut chicken into strips.
- In a shallow bowl mix almond meal or breadcrumbs, everything bagel mix and salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl whip an egg.
- Designate one hand as the “wet” hand and one hand as the “dry” hand.
- With the wet hand pick up a chicken strip and dip it in in the egg. Using the same wet hand pick it back up and place it in the everything bagel/breadcrumb mix.
- Use your dry hand to coat the chicken tender with the mix and gently shake to remove excess.
- Place chicken tender on a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat for each chicken finger.
- Bake everything bagel chicken tenders for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Combine all ingredients for honey dijon sauce and dip chicken tenders into sauce before enjoying.
