Quick And Easy Cooking

This is a good recipe, but it does take a little while to prepare. If you want the old fashioned taste of fried chicken, then fix this. If you want something faster, then I would just fix the chicken tenders that are already breaded that you can find in the freezer section of the grocery store.

I like to make extra chicken tenders. I use the leftover on salads. I also like to eat the leftovers cold for lunch. It’s a great snack, too.

I prefer using a deep fryer instead of frying in a skillet. Deep fryers seem safer to me than a skillet with hot oil.

Instead of the honey mustard dip, I use BBQ sauce, hot sauce or even cocktail sauce. My husband thinks I’m nuts using cocktail sauce, but I like it.

Ingredients

• oil, for frying
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Honey Mustard, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.

Cut the chicken breasts into long strips and set aside.

Beat the 3 eggs in a separate bowl and measure the flour into another separate dish.

Measure the flour into a pie plate or shallow bowl and season with garlic powder, lemon-pepper, cayenne, salt and pepper.

Dip the chicken strips into the flour, the beaten egg and then back into the flour.

Fry in the oil for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown, and remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray.
Serve with honey mustard sauce.

Honey Mustard:

• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• Salt and pepper

Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
