Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (ensure it’s halal-certified)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. Dip chicken tenders into the honey mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
  4. Dip each marinated tender into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are uniformly covered.
Baking
  1. Place the coated chicken tenders on a lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm, drizzled with any remaining honey sauce.

Notes

For a lower-calorie option, use whole wheat breadcrumbs. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
