HONEY NUT CHICKEN STRIPS



Honey Nut Chicken Strips image

This recipe evolved out of a need one evening. My son wanted chicken strips for dinner, but, alas, I didn't have any on hand. So, to the pantry I went and discovered I did indeed have the ingredients to put together a yummy sweet & salty coating for chicken breasts. Voila, these honey nut chicken strips were born!

Provided by Melissa Sperka

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders
2 c honey nut cereal [i used honey nut chex]
1 c french fried onions [i used fresh gourmet garlic pepper]
2/3 c honey mustard plus additional for dipping
3-4 Tbsp melted butter or margarine
paprika
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray and set aside. Crush the cereal and french fried onions together. Cut the chicken breasts into strips, making sure to keep the strips as uniform as possible in size. I actually prefer to do this when the chicken is slightly frozen. After cutting, and for easy clean-up, I lay the chicken strips on a piece of aluminum foil.
  • 2. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Pour 2/3 cup of honey mustard into a bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush each chicken strip with the honey mustard. Discard any remaining honey mustard after brushing the raw chicken. Pour the crushed cereal and french fried onions onto a plate, then roll each strip in the crumbs coating evenly on all sides.
  • 3. Place the strips onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter/margarine. Sprinkle with paprika for a little color. Place the strips into the oven.
  • 4. Bake at 375 degrees for 19-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Serve with additional honey mustard on the side for dipping. Yield: 12-14 strips Cook's note: For appetizers, cut into bite sized chunks and bake for 14-15 minutes. Serve with toothpicks for easy dipping.

HONEY NUT CHICKEN



HONEY NUT CHICKEN image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 6

Chicken breast
Eggs
Flour
3/4 cup honey nut peanuts
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp grill seasoning

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat large skillet over medium heat with EVOO and oven to 350 degrees. 2. Put peanuts, bread crumbs and grill seasoning in food processor and pulse grind. 3. Beat eggs in bowl with splash of milk. 4. Dip chicken in flour, then egg, then peanut bread crumbs. 5. Brown on both sides then transfer to oven and bake for 8 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for high-quality, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When frying the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy chicken.
  • Cook the Chicken Until Golden Brown: Make sure you cook the chicken until it is golden brown on all sides. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and has a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Make Sure the Sauce is Thick and Glazy: The honey nut sauce should be thick and glazy. If it is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it. If it is too thick, add a little water or chicken broth to thin it out.

Conclusion:

Honey nut chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. It is a great option for a weeknight meal or a weekend party. With its sweet and savory flavor, honey nut chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
