How to Make Chicken Tenders W W 4 Pts

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Place a large baking sheet in the oven to preheat while you prep the chicken.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup yellow mustard and 1/2 cup buttermilk.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
  5. Dip each chicken tender into the mustard mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
  7. Arrange chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 6 minutes.
  8. Flip the chicken tenders and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
  9. Serve immediately with 1 1/2 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
