These chicken tenders are juicy and delicious, yet a much healthier alternative to most chicken tenders. The honey mustard is simple to make, without any refined sugars like most store-bought brands.

INGREDIENTS
Chicken Tenders
- 2 lbs. Chicken Breast (boneless & skinless)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 box Whole Grain Crackers (I used Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers)
Honey Mustard
- 1/4 c. Raw Honey
- 1/4 c. Plain Yellow Mustard
INSTRUCTIONS
Healthy & Juicy Chicken Tenders
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil or avocado oil.
-
If your chicken is not already cut into chicken tenders, cut your chicken breast into chicken tender-like strips.
-
Add your whole grain crackers into a food processor and blend until your crackers become a fine powder. Pour into a wide, shallow dish.
-
Beat the 2 eggs in a wide, shallow dish until the yolks and whites are evenly combined.
-
Dip each chicken tender in the egg, and then into the cracker crumbs, making sure to evenly coat each chicken tender. Place on the cookie sheet.
-
Bake the chicken tenders for 35-40 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through. Remove from the oven, allow to slightly cool, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
Homemade Honey Mustard
-
Mix together the raw honey and the plain yellow mustard until evenly combined. It may be a tad runny, so refrigerate if you would like it a bit thicker. Enjoy!
