These chicken tenders are moist and tender inside from a quick buttermilk bath, and crunchy on the outside from a surprise breading! Served with a spicy orange dipping sauce, this is a delicious and quick meal!
We eat a lot of chicken in our house. I mean, A LOT. Grilled chicken, baked chicken, chicken sandwiches, chicken kabobs, and most importantly, chicken tenders. Both of my sons have loved chicken tenders since they were tiny tots, and my almost 16 year old would easily choose them over most anything for dinner every single night.
The trick to chicken tenders is making them healthy and not deep frying them. I mean, I'm all for eating them every day, but not when they've been deep fried! This new recipe is just that, healthy. Oven baked and juicy on the inside, they get a delicious crunchy crust from a surprise breading. Are you ready for this? The tenders are breaded in granola! Golden Girl Original Granola to be exact. Golden Girl Granola is holding a recipe contest for bloggers. We were challenged to make an entree with one of their flavors of granola (I chose the Original), and I thought using the granola like breadcrumbs would be a perfect idea!
