Family Chefmate: Emeril's Chicken Tenders With Honey Mustard Sauce

Emeril's chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce is quick and easy to prepare. Chicken fingers are fun to eat for the whole family and your kids with love the honey mustard dipping sauce. Allow your kids to mix up the sauce made from Dijon mustard and honey. My kids love breading the chicken tenders and eating some of the bread crumbs right out of the bowl. This recipe uses Emeril's original essence seasoning on the chicken so I decided to name this dish after him.

Emeril's Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Sauce:

Serves: 5
Pre-Heat Canola Oil: 350 degrees

1 cup whole wheat white flour, like King Arthur's
2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon fresh pepper, divided
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Emeril's original essence seasoning
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tablespoons water
2 pounds chicken tenders

1. Season the chicken tenders with 1 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper and 2 tablespoons Emeril's original essence seasoning. Place the seasoned chicken tenders into a container and allow to marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Seasoning The Chicken Tenders

2. Fill a large iron skillet 1/4 of the way up the side with canola oil. Bring the oil up to 350 degrees on medium high heat. Place the eggs and 2 tablespoons of water into a small bowl and mix together. Place the flour and 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper into another small bowl and stir. Place the bread crumbs, cheese and Italian seasoning into another small bowl and stir. Dip the chicken tenders one at a time into the flour, then the egg mixture then the bread crumbs. Make sure you shake off any excess flour, egg or bread crumbs from the chicken meat.

3. Cook the chicken tenders for 3-5 minutes on each side then flip them to brown on the other side for an additional 3 - 5 minutes. The chicken should be browned evenly on both sides. Allow the cooked chicken to drain on a paper towel. Serve hot with honey mustard sauce.
