1. First, cut the chicken breast into ½ inch thick strips.
2. Beat the chicken slightly with meat tenderizer.
3. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
4. Spread a thin layer of mustard on top.
5. Dredge the chicken strip in flour.
6. And then in egg.

So easy and so good. I used Dijon, but want to try next time adding mustard powder to get even more mustard flavor as the Dijon kind of sloughed off the chicken a bit. 2.5 minutes a side on medium high heat was just right - juicy goodness! Also one egg was plenty for our 14 oz of chicken for two people.
I am glad you enjoyed it, Mike! Thank you for taking the time to review my recipe!
Made these tonight. So good!!!
Thank you so much!
Great recipe, thanks a ton! Have two queries though.. Instead of the beaten egg can one use Greek yogurt? Also, the last step - can one bake instead of frying?
Hi Anamit! Thank you, I am glad you like the recipe. I have never tried using yogurt instead of egg. What is the reason you want to substitute? And if you want to bake these, I would suggest covering the chicken tenders with breadcrumbs to add a nice texture.
I made this tonight...SO GOOD! As promised, it was quick and easy...and it was even toddler approved! Thank you!
Great! Thanks for sharing, Jennifer!
