Description
Delicious and nutritious hemp seed crusted chicken tenders that are high in protein.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 pound), cut into strips
- 1 cup hemp seeds
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the hemp seeds, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the chicken in the hemp seed mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
- Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top of the tenders for added crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
- Let the chicken tenders cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, try adding some crushed cornflakes to the hemp seed mixture.
- If you’re looking for a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper to the coating or serve with a spicy dipping sauce.
