Chicken Tenders

gluten free chicken tenders with honey mustard and sweet potato fries

Chicken tenders are coated in seasoned gluten-free breadcrumbs and pan-fried until golden and crisp. Served with honey mustard and sweet potato fries, they make an easy family dinner that feels familiar and filling.

If you are looking for ready-made chicken strips, our family has used both PC brand and Pinty’s – and they are delicious. Warning: there are two types, cutlets and proper fillets. You will notice the difference in the price. We never buy the cutlets. The Filets are top-quality and on par with restaurant quality.

The paprika and garlic powder add flavor to the crispy coating while the sweet potato fries round out the meal.

1. Pat chicken tenders dry and season lightly with salt and black pepper. 2. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. 3. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. 4. Dip each chicken tender into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere. 5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan generously. 6. Place breaded tenders in the skillet without overcrowding. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 7. In a separate large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil for frying the sweet potato fries. 8. Add sweet potato fries in a single layer. Cook 4–6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until browned and tender. Internal temperature should reach at least 165°F and center should be soft. 9. Remove fries to a paper towel-lined plate and season lightly with salt. 10. Serve chicken tenders hot with honey mustard on the side.
