I love KFC and mustard. Anyone who knows me, knows that.
But now that I'm eating healthier, KFC is out of the question (except I ate a bit today...It was only potato though...Don't judge me, I haven't eaten junk food in months!).
Anyways, here's a good recipee for Faux Fried Chicken:
1 lb chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard (Or just use wholegrain mustard with egg)
2 1/2 c cornflakes
2 tsp minced fresh sage
1 tsp minced fresh thyme BBQ or honey-mustard sauce (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Using a pastry brush, coat each piece of chicken with Dijon mustard.
2. In a food processor or blender, combine the cornflakes, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to a coarse meal and transfer to a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken strip in the cornflake mixture until evenly coated. Place on baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce, if desired.
