Prep Time:10 minutes Cook Time:20 minutes Total Time:30 minutes Servings: 4

Crispy honey dijon and cheddar cracker coated chicken tenders that make for one tasty chicken dinner both for the kids and adults alike!

ingredients

3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1 tablespoon grainy dijon mustard (optional)
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice (~1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon white miso paste (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound boneless and skinless chicken, optionally cut into strips
salt and pepper
1/2 cup flour
2 cups cheddar cheese crackers, crushed

directions

Mix the honey, mustards, oil, lemon juice, miso and garlic, season with salt and pepper and divide in half.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, dredge in the flour, shake off excess, dip in half of the dressing, shake off excess, press into the cheddar cheese crackers crumbs and place on a wire cooling rack on a baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until cooked (165F) and golden brown, about 15-25 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
Serve straight from the oven with remaining dressing.

Option: Instead of dipping the chicken in the honey dijon dressing before baking, dip it in the mixture of 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon dijon mustard.
Option: Use another flavour of cracker, pretzels, etc. instead of the cheddar cheese crackers.
