Crunchy Chicken Tenders with Herb-Buttermilk Dressing

Serves 4
Inspired by hot wings, these crunchy treats use breast meat for lean protein and skinless cuts for less fat.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CHICKEN

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded to even thickness, cut into strips
  • 2 cups whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

FOR THE DRESSING

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons 2% Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoons chives, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

FOR SERVING

  • 4 stalks celery, cut into sticks
  • 2 romaine hearts, quartered
  • Hot sauce to taste
