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!

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.

Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup (30g) all purpose flour (I used gluten free)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds (650g) chicken tenderloins (they're called mini chicken fillets in the UK)
4 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari sauce for gluten free)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar ( or lemon juice)
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish combine the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour mixture, and shake off any excess.
  • In a skillet, over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then work in 2 batches and cook the chicken tenders on both sides until a golden brown crust forms (2-3 minutes per side) the chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C. Remove onto a plate. Melt the rest of the butter, and cook the remaining chicken tenders.
  • Deglaze the pan by adding about ¼ cup of water, and scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Allow the liquid to reduce.
  • Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Then add honey, soy sauce or tamari, vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 1-2 minutes so the sauce is heated up and starts to thicken, return the chicken to the pan, and flip it so it's all covered in sauce.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve over jasmine rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.
