If you love easy and delicious chicken recipes like I do, you definitely need to put these Herb Breaded Chicken Fingers on your upcoming menu for the week!
Today’s recipe is sponsored by House-Autry, a brand that has been used in my family for generations. All opinions shared are my own.
What I love most about this recipe is that these chicken tenders are crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. I’ve always had a weakness for fried foods — you won’t miss the crispiness of traditional fried chicken in this recipe!
The honey mustard dipping sauce I made for these chicken tenders is so easy to make, but if you want to opt out of another few steps in this recipe, you can always dip ’em in House-Autry Honey Mustard Dippin’ Sauce. I just happened to have all of the ingredients on-hand to make it myself.
With the chicken fingers, I started out by dipping sliced boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces in a mixture of butter, olive oil and garlic. Then I dredged them in the Southern Baked Chicken Coating Mix with added fresh rosemary, parsley, basil and pepper. After that it’s as simple as placing them on a baking sheet and baking for about 20 minutes.
These chicken tenders are perfect as a game day appetizer or for dinner with a salad.

I’ve always used Autry’s Seafood breader. Just bought some boneless chicken breasts to try out this recipe, looks delicious and easy to make. If it’s Autry’s it has to be good!

Would love to try the chicken strips but the coating mix is not available here. Would it be possible to have the ingredients?
