Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Set up a breading station by placing the flour in a shallow bowl, the honey mustard dressing in a second bowl, and combining the panko breadcrumbs, pepper, seasoning salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a third bowl.
3
Rinse the chicken tenders under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4
Dredge each chicken tender first in the flour, ensuring an even coating. Then dip it into the honey mustard dressing, allowing any excess to drip off.
5
Finally, roll the coated chicken tenders in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
6
Arrange the breaded chicken tenders on a broiler pan, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the tenders are golden brown and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
8
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
