Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken tenders
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup panko crumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed sheet pan with foil. I grease the foil lightly.
  2. Whisk maple, Dijon, oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Toss tenders in the sauce, then press into panko so they hold crumbs.
  4. Arrange on the sheet pan in one layer and bake 12–14 minutes until internal temp reads 165°F.
  5. Broil 1–2 minutes if you want extra crunch. Sprinkle parsley and let rest 3 minutes before serving.
