Herb Breaded Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

These are my husband's favorite. He constantly hints at them... as if I have forgotten to make them for him for a long time!

There are infinite ways of making chicken tenders, and I usually do it differently each time I make them. Sometimes I bread them with cornflakes, cornmeal, crackers, or bread crumbs, and sometimes I dip them in egg, egg and milk, yogurt, or olive oil. I usually end up baking them, but sometimes I pan fry them first. It really just depends.

But no matter how I make them, one thing remains the same, and that is the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. No matter how I make the chicken, it really is the sauce that counts.
