Thursday Pinspiration

Today's Pinspiration comes from WomensHealth magazine and is what we had for dinner last night.

Jas and I are both self proclamed chicken finger enthusiasts, and I was on the search for a healthier version when I came across this recipe on Pinterest.

Here is what you need

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
Salt and black pepper to taste (I didn't use any salt)
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs (I used Italian style)
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp chipotle pepper puree (I used a chipotle sauce)
1 Tbsp honey


Here is what you do (it's SO easy!)

* Preheat the oven to 450°F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl. Place the crumbs in a shallow bowl and season those, too. Dip the chicken tenders into the egg, then toss in the crumbs, being sure to coat fully.

* Place the breaded chicken pieces on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crumbs have browned and the chicken is firm.

* Combine the mustard, chipotle, and honey in a large bowl. Toss the cooked chicken tenders in the mixture so they are all evenly coated with the spicy-sweet sauce. (I didn't toss, I just poured it over and used as a dipping sauce)


These were absolutely delicious!  The sauce is really what makes them special.  WARNING: the sauce is spicy!
