Easy Cheddar-Flavored Chicken Tenders image

A quick and easy chicken entree that everyone will love! I left out the pepper due to a family allergy. We still enjoyed it.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups cheese-flavored crackers (such as Cheez-It®)
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
⅓ cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Move an oven rack to the lower third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Brush a large, shallow baking pan with oil.
  • Pulse crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a wide, shallow bowl and stir in pepper.
  • Toss tenders with mustard in a large bowl until coated. Dredge, 2 at a time, in cracker crumbs until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer, without crowding, in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
