Method

For the Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in one bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken tenders in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

For the Dipping Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, mustard, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.

For the Sides

  1. 6

    Cook the French Fries

    Prepare the French fries according to package instructions if using frozen, or fry them fresh until golden and crispy.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the green salad mix, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Toss lightly.
