Heart-healthy chicken tenders completely baked in an AMAZING mustard sauce and coated with a nutty crunchy pecan crust!
Chicken fingers. Chicken tenders. Chicken strips. What do you prefer to call them?
I’m keen on “chicken fingers” – because I’m 12 apparently. And it just sounds more fun to eat.
Especially when you coat them in an epic homemade honey mustard sauce (and slightly lightened-up with Greek yogurt, of course) along with a crisp pecan-Panko crust, using preservative-free Fisher Nuts.
Except guys, this is completely 100% baked. But that’s just between you and me, right?
You can also save some of the honey mustard sauce for later – you know, in case you need more for dipping purposes.

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
2. To make the honey mustard, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey and mustards.
3. To make the pecan crust, combine pecans, Panko, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder in the bowl of a food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, dip chicken into honey mustard, then dredge in pecan mixture, pressing to coat.
5. Place chicken onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the chicken is completely cooked through.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
