Method

For the Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Citrus Plum Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine plum preserves, fresh orange juice, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
