Ingredients
The Sauce:
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 ½ tablespoons agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon minced or grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic minced
The Chicken:
- ¾ cup whole wheat Panko Breadcrumbs regular panko can be substituted
- 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
- ½ teaspoons Chinese 5-spice powder
- ⅛ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 pound chicken tenders trimmed
Instructions
The Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the rice vinegar, water, soy sauce, agave nectar, canola oil, cornstarch, ginger and garlic.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes.
- Let the sauce cool slightly, then transfer all but ¼ cup of the sauce to a shallow container, such as a glass baking dish. Reserve the ¼ cup sauce to serve with the cooked chicken tenders.
The Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
- In another shallow container, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, Chinese 5-spice powder and salt.
- Working with one chicken tender at a time, dip the chicken in the teriyaki sauce, coating completely. Next, roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, completely coating the outside. Transfer to the prepared baking rack.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken, sauce and breadcrumb mixture.
- Baked until the chicken is just cooked through and the breadcrumbs are starting to brown, turning halfway through, 5 to 6 minutes per side (total 10 to 12 minutes).
- Serve with the reserved teriyaki sauce.
