- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 3 tablespoon avocado oil
Honey Mustard Sauce:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Heat a sous vide water bath to 140°F. *see table in post above for other temperature cooking options.

- Cook in the water bath for 2 hours.
- Remove from bag (reserving bag juice) and set aside.
- Combine the beaten egg with the milk and the reserved bag sauce.
- Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet for medium heat until the oil is shimmering.
- Place the chicken tenders in the oil and cook until golden brown on the outside, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove and serve with honey mustard dipping sauce.
Honey Mustard Sauce:
- Mix ingredients together until well combined.
Notes
- You can sous vide these straight from frozen, just add 30 minutes to the cook time.
- Heat the oil to shimmering BEFORE adding your chicken. Otherwise the breadcrumbs soak up the oil and become greasy.
- You can substitute regular breadcrumbs instead of panko if needed - they will both work well.
- While your chicken is frying, let it fully brown on one side before flipping to give the breadcrumbs time to stick to the chicken. In other words, let it be while it's cooking.
