Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Preheat and prepare

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place a wire rack on the sheet if you have one (helps crisp the tenders).

  2. 2

    Cut and season chicken

    Trim any fat from the 2 chicken breasts and cut each breast into 3 equal strips (about 6 tenders total). In a bowl, sprinkle the chicken with 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp paprika; toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Make dredge stations

    Set up three shallow bowls/plates: 1) 0.5 cups all-purpose flour; 2) whisk 1 large egg with 2 tbsp milk until smooth; 3) 1 cup breadcrumbs. If desired, stir a pinch of paprika into the breadcrumbs for color.

  4. 4

    Coat the tenders

    Working one at a time, dredge each chicken strip in flour (shake off excess), dip into the egg-milk wash, then press into breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Place each coated tender on the prepared baking sheet (or rack).

  5. 5

    Oil and bake

    Lightly brush or spray the tops of the tenders with 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) is reached.

  6. 6

    Rest

    Remove from oven and let the tenders rest 2 minutes before serving so juices redistribute and coating firms up.

Oven Fries

  1. 7

    Prep fries

    Wash and peel the 2 medium potatoes if you like (peel optional). Cut each into 8–10 evenly sized fries (match sizes so they cook evenly). Pat dry with a towel to remove surface moisture.

  2. 8

    Season

    In a bowl, toss the cut potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, and 0.5 tsp paprika until evenly coated.

  3. 9

    Stagger baking for timing

    Arrange fries in a single layer on a separate baking sheet (or the same sheet with space between items). To have fries and tenders finish together: put fries in the oven first and bake for 10 minutes, then add the tray with chicken tenders and continue baking both for an additional 18–20 minutes, flipping the fries and turning the tenders once halfway. If you prefer, bake fries for 25–30 minutes total at 200°C (400°F) until golden and crisp.

  4. 10

    Finish

    When golden, remove fries to a plate and taste for seasoning; add a light sprinkle of extra salt if needed.

Steamed Carrots

  1. 11

    Steam

    Place 1 cup baby carrots and 60 ml water in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Steam for 6–8 minutes until carrots are fork-tender.

  2. 12

    Glaze

    Drain any remaining water, return carrots to the warm pan off the heat. Add 1 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tsp honey, and 0.25 tsp salt. Toss gently to coat until butter melts and carrots are glossy. Keep warm until serving.

Sides & Drinks

  1. 13

    Prepare apple

    Core and slice 1 apple into wedges or bite-sized slices. Arrange on a small plate for easy eating.

  2. 14

    Portion dips

    Spoon 2 tbsp peanut butter (or sunflower butter) into a small ramekin for the apple slices. Place 4 tbsp ketchup into another small ramekin for dipping fries or tenders.

  3. 15

    Pour drink

    Pour 250 ml cold milk into a small cup or carton for the kid's drink. If offering chocolate milk, stir in a small amount of chocolate syrup to taste (not listed).

  4. 16

    Assemble the kid's meal

    On a child-friendly plate, place 2–3 chicken tenders, a portion of oven fries, a small pile of honey-glazed carrots, apple slices with the peanut butter ramekin, and the ketchup ramekin. Serve milk on the side. Allow hot items to cool slightly so they are safe for a child to eat.
