Almond Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

This kid-friendly meal is great for adults too! A light almond and panko crust bakes to a crisp, golden exterior, and the honey mustard sauce has the perfect blend of sweet and tangy.

Prep Time: 15 min.
Cooking Time: 20 min.

Yield: 4 servings

2 Tbsp. raw honey
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
Nonstick cooking spray (or olive oil cooking spray)
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp. water
1 lb. raw chicken breast tenders, skinless
1 cup whole wheat Panko bread crumbs (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
½ cup finely chopped sliced almonds
1 dash tsp. sea salt
1 dash tsp. ground black pepper
