Ingredients

1 lb chicken tenderloins

For the egg wash mixture:

1 egg
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

For the breadcrumb mixture:

1 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp flaxseed meal
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Using two shallow bowls, whisk together the egg, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in one bowl and in the other bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, flaxseed meal and other seasonings.
Dredge the chicken in the egg wash and then into the breadcrumb mixture, lightly pressing down so that the chicken is fully coated. Then transfer the chicken tender onto a baking sheet with a wire rack (or you could line the sheet with parchment paper) and repeat until all the chicken tenders are coated and ready to bake. Pro tip: the wire rack helps make the chicken crispy on both sides when baking!
Once the chicken is coated and arranged on the baking sheet, lightly spray the tops with some cooking spray and pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown, flipping the chicken halfway through. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

*These chicken tenders will last up to 4 days in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge and will freeze for up to 3 months.
