SPICY HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN

Here's my healthier version of fried chicken tenders. The homemade honey mustard helps the whole wheat bread crumbs stick to the chicken. Make double the amount of the honey mustard if you want some dipping sauce on the side.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large chicken breasts) or 4 4-ounce chicken cutlets
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Olive oil mister or nonstick pan spray
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frank's or Tabasco)

Steps:

  • To make the honey mustard: Whisk the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and hot sauce together in a medium bowl.
  • To make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. If using 2 large breasts, then place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and halve them horizontally so you end up with 4 pieces of even thickness (if using chicken cutlets, skip this step). If the chicken pieces are thicker than 1/2 inch, place a large sheet of plastic wrap on a cutting board and set 1 piece of chicken on top. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and then pound the chicken to a 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a heavy-bottomed pot. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
  • Add the chicken to the bowl with the mustard mixture and turn to coat. In a second medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, thyme, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken through the bread crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs into each side. Place a metal cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, and mist the rack with spray. Spray each piece of chicken on both sides and set it on the rack. Bake the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • To ensure a crispy outer coating: Pat the chicken dry before coating it in the seasoned flour mixture.
  • For a flavorful marinade: Combine honey, mustard, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce in a bowl. Whisk to combine and pour over the chicken pieces, coating them evenly.
  • For best results: Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken and tenderize it.
  • For even cooking: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) before baking the chicken. This helps to create a crispy outer coating and juicy interior.
  • To achieve a golden brown color: Brush the chicken with melted butter or olive oil before baking. This helps to brown the chicken and add extra flavor.
  • To ensure the chicken is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Conclusion:

This delectable dish combines sweet honey, tangy mustard, and aromatic herbs to create a tantalizing flavor profile. The juicy chicken coated in a crispy crust is sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave you craving for more. Serve it with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a refreshing salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
