Frying breaded anything – in this case, chicken tenders – are still a cooking skill I have to master. This was good but some of my breading off when I flipped them. A few others; a tad burnt. But! taste was – for us – just okay good. I love Dijon! It went well with Chef John’s sausage gravy from this site. Glad we tried! I might try again if I can master the stovetop fry method! Thanks Yoly!
These are super quick to prep and cook and they are delicious. I made exactly as written. My husband asks me to make them again.
Delicious! Had to cook it longer because I used chicken breasts. Super moist, great flavor!
I didn’t change a thing. I served them with additional honey mustard as suggested and they were delicious!
Just delicious and sooo easy!
My go to for chicken tenders – quick, easy and delicious chicken tenders recipe. If I could I would frame it and put on the wall of my kitchen!
I made this in my cast iron skillet. I used a little corn oil instead of butter. It didn’t take long to make these delicious, crispy tenders. I served it with white rice and roasted broccoli. This recipe is a keeper for sure.
Tasted alright. Frustrated with the coating falling off while cutting and turning in the pan. Won’t make again.
I like to follow the recipes exactly the first time, before I make any changes. Needless to say We Love this recipe exactly the way it is.
Excellent, I baked it will try it on the stove fried to see what I like better.
Excellent, easy recipe!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Yum! I only had panko so I added some Italian seasoning to that and when I cooked it I used a combination of lemon olive oil and butter. Otherwise I followed the recipe. Tonight we have some leftovers for dinner! Yum! Thanks, Yoly!
Pretty yummy! Especially being fried in butter.
moist and delicious . Hubby had two pieces straight from the pot.
Easy, quick and tasty – my only requirements !
Loved it. I did bake and used breasts since I did not have tenders. I baked 375 in casserole dish with a Tablespoon of Wesson oil
This was amazing and so easy.. i make it more keto style and use almond flour, than regular flour.. easy..
