How to Make Baked Honey Dijon Chicken Tenders

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil, leaving enough overhang to cover the chicken completely. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of water.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the egg mixture. Whisk until well combined.
4. Add 1 pound of chicken tenders to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour for maximum flavor).
5. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 1/2 cups of breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
6. Add the marinated chicken tenders to the bag and shake until evenly coated with the breadcrumb mixture.
7. Arrange the breaded chicken tenders in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Fold the foil over the chicken, completely covering it. Press down gently to ensure even cooking and crispier tenders.
9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
