Healthy Chicken Fingers

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:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, put the egg whites.  Place the crumbs and season on a plate.
  4. Dip chicken tenders into the egg, then toss in the crumbs, make sure to fully coat the chicken.
  5. Take a baking sheet (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) and place the freshly breaded chicken pieces onto it.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crumbs have browned and the chicken is firm.
  7. 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!
