Ingredients
- 3 cups cheese crackers, such as Cheez-Its, ground into crumbs
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound chicken tenders (7 to 8 tenders)
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with foil, then place a wire rack on top.
- For the chicken tenders: Mix the cracker crumbs and Parmesan together in a large bowl. In a shallow dish, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, cider vinegar and some salt and pepper.

Delicious! I prepared the chicken and dipping sauce per the recipe and loved every bite. The coating stayed on very well and the chicken was moist and tender. The honey Dijon sauce was amazing. I did add a splash or two of red wine vinegar to it to give it a little acidity. I will definitely make this again! Thanks Trisha!
This was so delicious! I used bread crumbs instead of the crackers. The sauce kept the chicken tenders moist. I cooked the chicken tenders in the frying pan with canola oil. It also helped to keep the chicken moist.
Tisha Yearsood seems to really like making chicken. This one is above average but not as good as the spiced one. I really like reading all the recipes on this site and cutting them in half for just two people. So thankful to all the uploaders.
This is very easy. Let the chicken bake while prepping your sides.
I love the recipe for the stuff you dredge the tenders in but I just use plain bread crumbs and Parmesean cheese and don’t crush up crackers. The dipping sauce is awesome too.
Breading came off. Followed the recipe. Big disappointment
This was absolutely delicious. I will make this again .
Really good really easy
Not a fan. My wife has a similar recipe using seasoned Palko that we like much better. Looked promising but did not deliver for our palates.
LOVED this recipe! The dipping sauce was as good as the chicken! I can’t wait to have company to wow them with this dish.
