Herbed Chicken Tenders Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and drain chicken breast tenders.
• Mix all of the other ingredients (except for the olive oil) in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly.
• Rub the herb mixture onto the chicken tenders thoroughly, until coated well on both sides of the chicken.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
• Add chicken to pan and sauté approximately 4 minutes on each side, until the color is lightly golden brown.

Steps:

• Make the dip: Mix yogurt, chives, parsley, dill, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and plenty of pepper. Set aside.
• Prepare the chicken: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut chicken breasts lengthwise into about 1 1/4-inch-wide strips. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Mix together flour and paprika in a medium bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Place eggs in a large bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon water. Season with salt and pepper. Put bread crumbs in a large bowl or shallow baking dish, and season with salt and pepper.
• Working with few pieces at a time, toss the chicken in the flour mixture, making sure it's evenly coated. Shake off excess flour, and dip into egg wash. Shake off any excess.
• Dip chicken into bread crumb mixture a few pieces at a time, pressing to adhere as many bread crumbs as possible. Shake off any excess, and set chicken aside on a large plate.
• Place breaded chicken strips on a foil- or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and bake until one side is beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, flip chicken and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown and crisp, another 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with herbed yogurt dip.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• In shallow bowl, mix mayonnaise, herbs and garlic powder. In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, place bread crumbs and cheese. Coat chicken with mayonnaise mixture. Place in bread crumb bag; seal and shake to coat. Place chicken on cookie sheet.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center and bread crumbs are golden brown. Serve with tomato pasta sauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients and, if desired, browning sauce; rub over chicken. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add broth. Cover and cook on low until chicken is tender, 4-5 hours.

Steps:

• Sauce.
• 1 Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
• 2 Add the tomato paste, mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes more. The tomato paste should darken to a brick-red color.
• 3 Add the tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, salt and sugar and bring to a boil. Cook this for 5 minutes if using tomato sauce, 10 minutes if using crushed tomatoes.
• 4 Put the sauce into a blender and purée until smooth. Hold your hand over the blender lid to keep it from popping off, and start the blender at a low setting and work up to the highest.
• The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
• The Tenders.
• 1 Soak tenders in buttermilk for 15-30 minutes. While the tenders are soaking, make the sauce (see sauce directions above).
• 2 Mix together the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and salt in a shallow bowl.
• 3 Heat oven to 500°F Line a roasting pan with foil. Brush the top of the foil with vegetable oil to help prevent sticking, or use a Silpat sheet. One by one, remove the chicken tenders from the buttermilk and place in the bowl with breadcrumbs, coating them on all sides with the breadcrumbs. Place on the roasting pan.
• 4 Drizzle a little melted butter over each chicken tender. Place in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and the pieces are lightly browned.
• Serve with a bowl of the sauce for dipping.
