CHICKEN TENDERS WITH PUMPKIN, SESAME AND POPPY SEED BREADING
Chicken tenders are a childhood favorite of mine. They have always been my weakness, but why not try switching it up? During my travels to Italy, I picked up this great variation at Culinary Institute of Bologna (CIBO). A variety of seeds are added to the breading, so it packs a punch of great flavor. You can even make it gluten free if you want. All you need to do is replace the flour and panko with their gluten-free counterparts. Superbowl, snack, salad, lunch or dinner--these tenders make the cut.

Steps:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a separate large baking sheet with paper towels and a wire rack.
- Combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the flour with 2 teaspoons of the seasoned salt in a large shallow bowl and set aside. Whisk the egg in a large shallow bowl and set aside. Combine the panko, pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds in a large shallow bowl and set aside.
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (it should be about 1 inch deep) until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- While the oil is heating up, bread the chicken in small batches. First, place the chicken in the flour mixture, coating each tender evenly and dusting off any excess flour. Then place the chicken in the egg wash, making sure each tender is covered. Place the tenders in the panko mixture, rolling the chicken so each tender has a nice coating. Be sure not to overcrowd the bowls with chicken, as you want each tender properly coated. Place the breaded chicken on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cook the chicken until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes on each side. If the chicken is browning too fast, lower the heat. Place the cooked chicken on the wire rack and serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Coat a parchment-lined baking sheet with the olive oil.
- Cut a 10-inch circle in the top of the pumpkin and remove the top. Scrape out the pulp and seeds with a large spoon and remove to a bowl. Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, then rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water. Shake the seeds dry; don't blot them with paper towels--they will stick.
- Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake until beginning to dry out, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the white and black sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, poppy seeds and sea salt in a small bowl to combine.
- Whisk the egg white in a medium bowl until foamy. Add the baked pumpkin seeds and toss until fully coated. Add the everything seasoning mix to the bowl and continue to toss until the seeds are coated in the seasoning. Spread the seeds back on the original baking sheet and continue to bake until golden brown and crispy, about another 25 minutes. Cool before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin seeds: Use raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds for the best results. Avoid pre-seasoned or roasted seeds, as they may not have the right flavor or texture.
- Roast the pumpkin seeds before coating them: Roasting the pumpkin seeds helps to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy. You can roast them in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to create your own unique flavor combinations. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the pumpkin seeds, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet or skillet. This will help them to roast evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Watch the cooking time: Pumpkin seeds can burn easily, so it's important to keep an eye on them while they're roasting. Stir them occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly.
Conclusion:
Sesame garlic pumpkin seeds are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, give these sesame garlic pumpkin seeds a try!
