Cap'n Crunch® Thai-Style Chicken Tenders

Ingredients

• Chicken Fingers
  • 2 cups Cap'n Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch® Cereal
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha Asian chili sauce
  • 1 pound chicken breast tenders or boneless chicken breast cut into 1" strips
  • Thai sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Crush cereal in a resealable food storage bag using a rolling pin or mallet to make fine crumbs. Toss with cilantro and place in a shallow dish.
2. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a separate shallow dish.
3. Whisk together eggs and sriracha in a shallow bowl.
4. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture and coat with cereal crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. When all of tenders have been coated, lightly spray both sides of chicken with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Place prepared tenders on a baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes, turn each tender and continue baking 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned and centers are 165°F.
7. Serve with Thai sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping if desired.

Yield: 4 servings

Cook's Tip: Use a fork to dredge the tenders in the flour, egg and crumbs to keep your fingers clean.

Sriacha and Thai sweet chili sauce can be found in the Asian foods section of the grocery store.
