Crispy panko-coated oven-baked chicken tenders with a creamy yogurt dipping sauce. Guilt-free indulgence!
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 0.25 cup jarred roasted red peppers - drained, patted dry and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and swaddle a baking sheet cosily with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the dipping sauce by blending Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a mini food processor until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Prepare the chicken tenders by mixing garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Then generously sprinkle the seasoning over the chicken tenders and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, toast panko until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish. Crack egg into another dish. Dip chicken tenders into egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with panko. Arrange coated tenders on the baking sheet.
  • Roast in the oven until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with dipping sauce.
