Wow, this is a new favorite! I can't believe how easy and how moist and good the chicken tasted. I made it exactly as posted, and my husband and I both loved it. It's in my regular meal rotation now. The chicken strips are first coated with a garlic-Dijon mustard mixture, then pressed in a panko bread crumb mixture before baking. The results is moist, delicious chicken with a slightly crunchy coating. Easy and delicious.

I added eggs to the mustard and garlic to dilute the mustard flavor. It worked wonderfully! I also didn t use a baking rack in the oven. I laid the chicken strips flat on a baking sheet and baked them at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes (or until the chicken reached 165 degrees internally). Read More

The Dijon mustard was unbelievably overpowering in this dish. The panko breading was good but all anyone could taste was salt and mustard. Read More

We thought this was very good and I'll make it again. I used regular paprika and chicken tenders but otherwise followed a halved version of the recipe. As it was I wasted maybe nearly 1/3 cup of the 1 cup of panko mixture; it could be because there wasn't enough olive oil to make it moister so keep that in mind. The oven temperature and timing was about right. Thanks for our dinner tonight! We'll enjoy it again! Read More

I made it and unfortunately I listened to the early reviews about the over powering Dijon. Next time I will make it as directed without a cutback or dilution of the wet mixture. I will also add some dehydrated onions to the panko mix. A keeper for crispy chicken Read More

I was looking for a chicken strip recipe because I didn t have one that didn t have an Asian taste to it. This recipe was a great starting point for me. I did make a few changes because the mustard was strong and I always add more seasoning to all my recipes. For the wet mix I used the Dijon mustard & garlic but I also put about 1 1/2- 2 Tbl of honey in the mix to make it a little sweeter. For the dry mix I used the oil but I don t think it s necessary so I will omit it next time. I added garlic powder onion powder and a little parmesan cheese to the dry mix. I baked the chicken on a cookie sheet wrapped in foil for easy clean up on 425 for the same amount of time (approx 12 mins). Read More
