Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast sliced on a bias into even strips, boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 egg large
- 5 1/2 cups cornflakes finely crushed (or 2 cups plain Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp parsley dried
- olive oil light, cooking spray
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain
- 2 1/2 Tbsp honey
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise light
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 Tbsp yellow mustard prepared
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- For the chicken: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large oven safe cooling rack with olive oil spray and set on a large rimmed baking sheet, set aside.
- In a shallow dish whisk together flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- In a separate shallow dish whisk together eggs until well blended.
- To a third separate dish add crushed cornflakes or panko, stir in parsley.
- Working with one chicken strip at a time, dredge both sides well in flour. Transfer to eggs coat both sides.
- Transfer to cornflake mixture and press into cornflakes, flip and coat opposite side while pressing well to get them to stick well.
- Transfer to wire cooling rack on baking sheet, repeat process with remaining chicken (leave space between each piece so it cooks even).
- Spray each piece lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Bake in preheated until center registers 165 on thickest piece, about 15 - 20 minutes.
- Cool several minutes (coating will crisp it up even more as it rests a few minutes), season with more salt if needed, serve warm with Creamy Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.
- For the dipping sauce: Stir together all ingredients in a small mixing bowl while seasoning lightly with salt to taste. Cover and store refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- I know this seems like a lot of garlic powder but in the end you really only use about half of the flour/garlic mixture so only about 1/2 of this is what will be in the end result, same with the salt. It just works better to be working with a little excess of the flour mixture so it's coating everything evenly and well.
- I liked both versions but preferred the cornflake one more. If using cornflakes crush into tiny pieces in a gallon size resealable bag using a rolling pin or your hands.
- I tested with other brands and the dressing wasn't as creamy or as thick. Fage brand works best here.
- Nutrition info is for chicken strips only.
