Chicken Strips with Honey Mustard

Nothing fancy, but good for a quick weekday dinner.

Ingredients...

• 1 large egg or 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
• 1 to 2 cups panko 
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Nonstick cooking spray
• Honey
• Yellow or Dijon mustard

Directions...

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Beat the egg lightly in a large shallow dish. (If you are using buttermilk instead, pour it over the chicken strips in a large bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.) Place the panko and cheese in another large shallow dish, season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
3. Dredge the chicken strips in the egg (or remove from the buttermilk) and roll in the crumbs to well. Lightly spray the prepared chicken strips with non-stick cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
4. Bake until the chicken strips are golden and fully cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, mix equal amounts of honey and mustard to create a dipping sauce. Serve immediately.
