Chicken Tenders

Yield 6 Servings

Free of: gluten and top 8 allergens.

A meal the entire family will love!

Ingredients

Honey Mustard

1 cup allergy-friendly mayonnaise, such as Follow Your Heart's Soy-Free Vegenaise

3 tbsp honey

1-1/2 tbsp Dijon style mustard

1-1/2 tbsp yellow mustard

1-1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

1/8 tsp garlic powder, optional

1/8 tsp smoked paprika, optional

1/8 tsp salt

Tenders

1 cup lukewarm water

1/4 cup flaxseed meal

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2)

1 cup garbanzo bean flour

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground black pepper

1 (8-ounce) bag kettle chips or 6 cups gluten-free corn flakes

Instructions

  1. For the honey mustard, in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, honey, both mustards, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Cover and place in fridge.
  2. For the tenders, preheat oven to 400°F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside. The wire rack will prevent sticking and allow the chicken to bake up nice and crispy on all sides. If you don’t have a wire rack, that’s okay. Line your baking sheet with parchment or foil. If using foil, lightly spray foil-lined baking sheet with olive or vegetable oil spray. 
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together water and flaxseed meal. Set aside for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Pat the chicken breasts dry. Lay the breasts on a cutting board and cut off any fat or tendons. Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast. Hold a knife along the long side and thicker end of the chicken. Slice through the breast almost to the end, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open the chicken breast. It should resemble a butterfly shape. Cut in half and cut each half crosswise into 1-inch strips. Repeat with the second chicken breast. Set chicken strips aside.
  5. In a shallow bowl, combine the garbanzo bean flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add the chips or corn flakes to a food processor and pulse in two batches into coarse crumbs. Alternately, place the chips in a large zip-lock plastic bag. With a rolling pin or meat mallet, crush the chips by lightly pounding. Transfer 1 cup of the crushed chips to a shallow bowl. Reserve the remaining chips to refill the bowl as needed during breading.
  7. Return to the flaxseed mixture and vigorously whisk until gelatinous. Transfer to a shallow dish.
  8. To organize the breading station, start with the flour on the left. Place the flaxseed mixture in the middle, followed by the crushed potato chips or corn flakes on the right.
  9. With left hand, dredge a chicken strip in seasoned flour. Using same hand, place chicken in flaxseed mixture without getting left hand wet. With right hand, completely coat chicken strip in the liquid. Lift and let excess liquid drip off. Transfer chicken to the bowl of crumbs. Then use your right hand to carefully coat all sides of the chicken with crumbs, pressing them lightly onto the chicken to help them stick. Use your right hand to transfer the chicken strip to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  10. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. If you don’t have a wire rack, flip tenders half way through baking. 
  11. Serve with honey mustard and/or your favorite barbecue sauce.

Notes

Baking in an Air Fryer

If making with corn flakes, lightly spray the chicken tenders with olive oil or vegetable spray.

Spray the wire rack of your air fryer with vegetable or olive oil spray before preheating to 390-degrees F. Once preheated, place 4 or 5 chicken tenders into the basket at a time, spacing them out so they don't touch. Cook for 4 minutes. Using tongs, flip the chicken tenders and cook for another 4-6 minutes, or until done.

Once golden and crispy, transfer the chicken tenders to a wire rack and place rack on a baking pan. Place in warm oven while repeating with remaining tenders.
