Ingredients
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs preferably whole-wheat
- ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ¼ pounds about 8 chicken tenders
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil. Coat with cooking spray.
- Place the whole wheat flour in a medium bowl. In a shallow container, whisk together the egg, egg white, Dijon mustard and paprika. In a separate shallow container, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Working with one chicken tender at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip in the egg mixture until the chicken is coated. Last, roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, completely coating the outside.
- Transfer the chicken tenders to the prepared wire rack.
- Lightly coat the chicken tenders with olive oil spray or cooking spray. Bake until the chicken is just cooked through and the breadcrumbs are starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
- Serve with Dijon or honey mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
