Here is a recipe that I found on the Mens Health website. I love chicken fingers! Anything that would make them healthier for me is a huge bonus. Definitely check these out and let me know what you think:
Healthy Chicken Fingers (Homemade)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
Salt and black pepper to taste
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp chipotle pepper puree
1 Tbsp honey
How to make them:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, put the egg whites. Place the crumbs and season on a plate.
- Dip chicken tenders into the egg, then toss in the crumbs, make sure to fully coat the chicken.
- Take a baking sheet (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) and place the freshly breaded chicken pieces onto it.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crumbs have browned and the chicken is firm.
- Mix the mustard, chipotle, and honey in a large bowl. Toss the cooked chicken tenders in the mixture so they are all evenly coated with the spicy-sweet sauce.
The secret to the recipe is going to be the Panko bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs are a very fine Japanese style of bread crumb that provides a nice crunch to your food. You can buy this at your local grocery store. I hope you enjoy – Let me know what you think – Smacznego!
