Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce Recipe

Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce Recipe

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1½ cups panko crumbs or dried breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 bunches cilantro, for garnish
  • Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce with Horseradish, for serving
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Cut each chicken breast on the diagonal into 7 strips. Mix the egg, mustard, and cayenne pepper together in a shallow bowl and toss the chicken strips to coat them.
  3. In another bowl, mix the panko, Parmesan, cilantro, and cumin. Add half the chicken pieces and toss to coat them well. Line 2 baking pans with parchment and arrange the breaded chicken on the pan, leaving some space between the chicken pieces so that they will brown nicely. Drizzle with the butter. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken.
  4. Bake the chicken fingers until nicely colored and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. For even browning, it helps to rotate the pans halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve the chicken fingers arranged on a platter, garnished with cilantro, with a bowl of the dipping sauce.
