Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Strips:

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts (about 3 large breasts)
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise (preferably real mayonnaise)
  • 2–3 small garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 cups bread crumbs (1 cup seasoned Italian-style bread crumbs and 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or all seasoned bread crumbs)

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Strips: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and pressed garlic cloves. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the garlic to infuse into the marinade.
  3. In another bowl, place the bread crumbs.
  4. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts using paper towels. Trim off any excess fat and cut the breasts into 1-inch thick strips.
  5. Season the chicken strips lightly with sea salt and pepper on both sides.
  6. Coat the Chicken Strips: Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Then, roll each chicken strip in the bread crumbs, making sure the chicken is evenly coated. Arrange the breaded strips on the prepared baking sheet. To ensure a crispy crust, avoid overcrowding the chicken strips on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake the Chicken Strips: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the outside is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Make the Honey Mustard Dip: In a medium bowl (or in a blender), combine the Dijon mustard, honey, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well-blended. If desired, stir in poppy seeds for a bit of extra flair. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For extra crispy chicken strips, you can spray or brush the breaded strips lightly with oil before baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the marinade to suit your taste preferences.
