Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 pound chicken tenders
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
• 0.5 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place flour in a shallow dish. Combine honey and Dijon mustard in another shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 2

Season chicken tenders with salt and black pepper. Dredge tenders in flour; shake off excess. Dip into honey-mustard mixture. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides, pressing crumbs into tenders. Place breaded tenders, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining tenders.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add tenders; cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip tenders, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cook until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
