Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
16 to 20 ounces your favorite BBQ or salt and vinegar potato chips (I like Zapp's Voodoo)
2 pounds boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
1/2 cup honey
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt

Steps:

For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a bowl or baking dish, add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground mustard and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper and stir to combine. Beat the eggs in a separate baking dish. Finely crush the potato chips in their bag or in a separate resealable bag. Pour into a bowl or baking dish.
Sprinkle the chicken with 2 teaspoons salt. Dip the chicken in the seasoned flour and coat completely, then into the egg mixture until completely coated. Finally, dip the chicken into the potato chips, making sure the chips stick to the whole surface. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
For the honey mustard sauce: While the chicken is baking, mix together the honey, mayonnaise, Dijon, yellow mustard, whole-grain mustard and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season with salt as desired. Serve with the chicken.

For some unknown reason, I bought a couple of bags of Pepperidge Farms cornbread stuffing mix.And I had to figure out what to do with it, other than make stuffing.So I came up with this recipe,and the twist is using stuffing mix for the coating. If the chicken doesn't get coated completely that's o.k.Serve with gravy and use as a dipping sauce.Please feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your families tastes.Submitted to "ZAAR" on January 24th,2009.

Tips:

To ensure the chicken strips are evenly coated, use a large bowl or baking dish for dredging.
For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken strips by dipping them in the egg mixture and breadcrumb mixture twice.
To save time, use a food processor to grind the pretzels and crackers into fine crumbs.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To prevent the chicken strips from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
For a more even cook, flip the chicken strips halfway through the baking time.

Conclusion:

These coated chicken strips with a twist are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The combination of the crunchy pretzel and cracker coating and the tender, juicy chicken is sure to please everyone at your table. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
