Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups Cheez-It Cheddar crackers (3 oz)
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 lb chicken tenders (not coated or cooked)
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (12- to 16-oz) bag baby spinach
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 475°F. Brush a large shallow baking pan with oil (2 tablespoons).
  • Pulse crackers in a food processor until finely ground, then transfer to a wide shallow bowl and stir in 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss tenders with mustard in a large bowl until coated, then dredge, 2 at a time, in cracker crumbs until evenly coated. Arrange tenders in 1 layer, without crowding, in oiled pan. Bake, turning over once, until golden brown, about 15 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, then cook spinach, covered, turning with tongs, until spinach is just wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then serve spinach with chicken.

I would not recommend this recipe. The chicken tenders were bland and the spinach stuffing was too salty.

The cheddar cheese and spinach stuffing was a great addition to these chicken tenders. It added a lot of flavor and made them extra moist.
