Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon kosher salt (plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided)
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (divided)
1 teaspoon onion powder (divided)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (divided)
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup low fat buttermilk*
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins ( or boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 3/4-inch strips (about 12 strips total))
2 cups whole wheat Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 egg whites, lightly beaten (or 1/4 cup liquid egg whites)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey (plus 1 teaspoon, plus additional to taste)
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • For the Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders: In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and honey and whisk until well combined. Add the chicken tenders, toss to coat, then let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Do not allow to sit longer, or the chicken will become too salty.)
  • In a large, shallow dish (a 9x13-inch pan works well), combine the Panko breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Drizzle the oil over the top, then toss to moisten.
  • In a second shallow dish, whisk together the egg whites and mustard.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then place an ovenproof wire rack on top of it. Coat the rack with cooking spray.
  • Arrange the bowls in a line from left to right as follows: egg white dish; Panko breadcrumbs; baking sheet. Working with a few pieces of chicken at a time, with your left hand, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess (this is the "wet" hand). Still with your left hand, dip the chicken into egg mixture, turning to coat all sides, then place in breadcrumb mixture. With your right hand (the "dry" hand), pat the chicken on all sides with the breadcrumbs, pressing them on lightly so that the chicken is well coated. Still with your dry hand, place the chicken on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Repeat for remaining tenders.
  • Bake the chicken until golden brown and the juices run clear, 15-20 minutes.
  • While the chicken bakes, stir the dip ingredients together in a small bowl: Greek yogurt, Dijon, honey, and salt. Taste and add additional honey as desired. Serve chicken hot or at room temperature with the dip.

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS



Honey-Mustard Chicken Tenders image

The combination of honey and mustard has been around since ancient Egypt and Rome, and midcentury American cooks used it in any number of dishes, from baked chicken to glazed ham. But it wasn't until the 1970s and '80s, when restaurants started pairing the zesty sauce with breaded pieces of boneless chicken, that it became wildly popular. As a coating for chicken, honey mustard not only tastes great, but the acidity in the mustard helps keep the meat juicy. For hot honey mustard chicken tenders, add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne to the honey mustard. For an even quicker dinner, do steps 1 and 2 up to a day ahead. (Refrigerate the chicken and store the toasted panko at room temperature.) Eat the tenders dipped into barbecue sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, or - you guessed it - more honey mustard.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup neutral oil (such as grapeseed or canola)
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Add the panko and oil to the sheet pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir with a fork until evenly moistened. Shake into an even layer. Toast in the oven, stirring with the fork halfway through, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pick up the parchment and use it to funnel the toasted panko into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Set aside to cool. (Reserve the lined sheet pan.)
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the honey and mustard. Pat the chicken dry, then pound with a mallet or heavy skillet into an even thickness (about ⅓-inch thick). Slice lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips. Cut any long strips in half crosswise. (If using chicken tenders, no need to pound or slice.) Season with salt and pepper, then add to the honey mustard and toss to combine.
  • Working with one strip at a time and removing dripping honey mustard, add the chicken to the panko mixture and use your fingers to pack the panko onto all sides of the chicken. (To avoid a big mess, designate one wet hand for touching the chicken and one dry hand for pressing in the panko.) Transfer to the lined sheet pan and repeat.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake, removing from the oven to flip halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the panko is browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

HOT MUSTARD AND HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN



Hot Mustard and Honey Glazed Chicken image

Asian hot mustard powder is a versatile pantry staple that can quickly transform into a spicy sauce, glaze or dressing. Here, the hot mustard is tamed with sweet honey and balanced by fragrant garlic for a savory glaze that caramelizes on chicken when roasted. Once cooked, the chicken receives a final basting for a fresh burst of spicy flavor. Make a double batch of the glaze, as it also tastes great on pork chops and grilled shrimp. Leftover chicken can quickly become a salad the next day; just chop and toss with spinach or romaine and a simple vinaigrette.

Categories     dinner, easy, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup hot Asian mustard powder (or English dry mustard, such as Colman's)
6 tablespoons mild honey, such as clove or acacia
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
1 pound fingerling potatoes, sliced ½-inch thick
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
6 chicken legs (about 3½ pounds), drumsticks and thighs separated
Chopped scallions or chives, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk mustard powder with ¼ cup very hot water until well combined; let stand 5 minutes. (The heat of the water will activate and release the mustard's spicy flavor.) Add honey, soy sauce, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt, and whisk to combine. Reserve half of the sauce in a small bowl for basting.
  • On a rimmed sheet tray, combine carrots, potatoes and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss to evenly coat, and spread in an even layer.
  • Rub chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Add to the large bowl with the sauce and toss to evenly coat, then arrange on top of the vegetables.
  • Roast until vegetables are tender and chicken is golden and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Divide chicken and vegetables among plates and baste chicken all over with the remaining sauce. Pour sheet pan juices into a small bowl and skim off any excess fat.
  • Spoon over pan juices, garnish with scallions and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For this recipe, boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Use a good quality honey mustard: The honey mustard is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a honey mustard that is made with real honey and mustard seeds, and that has a good balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This honey mustard chicken is delicious served with a variety of sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Honey mustard chicken is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's made with simple, affordable ingredients, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chicken sweet, tangy, or spicy, this recipe has you covered. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy chicken recipe, give this honey mustard chicken a try.
