A crispy and healthy version of chicken fingers
Ingredients
- 1½ c. all-purpose flour
- 1 t. salt
- ¼ t. pepper
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 2 c. Panko bread crumbs
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch strips
- 1 T. brown sugar
- ½ c. ketchup
- 2 T. mustard
Instructions
- FOR THE CHICKEN BITES:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Ready 3 shallow bowls or pie pans for coating the chicken: In the first bowl, stir together the flour, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. In the second bowl, pour the eggs. In the third bowl, spread out the Panko.
- Working with 1 piece at a time, dip the chicken into the flour, coating it completely and shaking off the excess; then into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off; and finally into the panko, again shaking off the excess.
- Lay the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE:
- Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard until mixed. Transfer to individual dipping bowls.
- Serve the chicken hot from the oven with the sauce.
We made these tonight, and the kids loved them! And so did I! They were so crispy and juicy and delicious!
I am so glad you all enjoyed them too! Baked chicken is easy and wonderful!
