Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Green Beans & Honey Mustard Dip

Ingredients

• 0.5 lb Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 0.5 lb Green beans
• 0.5 cup Honey mustard dressing (For dipping)
• 0.667 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded (For the coating)
• Extra-virgin olive oil (For coating the baking sheet and cooking the green beans; amount not specified)
• Garlic powder (Amount not specified)
• Mayonnaise (Amount not specified)
• Panko bread crumbs (Amount not specified)
• Paprika (Amount not specified)
• Salt (Amount not specified; used in the chicken mixture and with the green beans)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet pan with a thin layer of olive oil.

2. 2

   Place the mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.

3. 3

   Place the shredded Parmesan, panko bread crumbs, and paprika in another medium bowl. Stir to combine the coating.

4. 4

   Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a clean cutting board, slice them into ¾-inch tenders.

5. 5

   Add the chicken tenders to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture and toss until evenly coated.

6. 6

   Working in batches, dredge the coated tenders in the bread crumb mixture, pressing the coating onto each tender so it adheres. Transfer the tenders to the prepared baking sheet.

7. 7

   Place the baking sheet in the oven; it does not have to be fully heated. Bake until the tenders start to turn golden, about 10 minutes.

8. 8

   While the chicken bakes, wash and dry the green beans. Using a clean cutting board, trim the ends and set the beans aside.

9. 9

   When the chicken is golden, flip the tenders. Continue baking for 6–8 minutes more, until cooked through, then remove them from the oven.

10. 10

    Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

11. 11

    Once the skillet is hot, add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

12. 12

    Add the trimmed green beans and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4–5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Remove the skillet from the heat.

13. 13

    Divide the chicken tenders and green beans between four plates. Serve the honey mustard dressing on the side for dipping.
