Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup honey mustard
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 1/4 head green cabbage
- 1 count navel orange
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp salt
Steps
- Mix 1/4 cup honey mustard with panko breadcrumbs; coat chicken tenders evenly, then bake on a parchment-lined sheet pan at 400°F for 18 minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F.
- Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil on a second sheet pan and roast at 400°F for 15 minutes alongside the chicken.
- While chicken and broccoli cook, shred cabbage into a bowl, zest the orange and squeeze its juice, then toss with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt to make the slaw.
- Divide honey mustard (remaining 1/4 cup mixed with 1 tablespoon water) among four bowls as a dipping sauce.
- Plate chicken tenders, broccoli, and slaw on four plates; serve with honey mustard sauce on the side.
- Picky eater tip: serve the chicken tenders plain, with the honey mustard on the side.
- Make ahead: shred the cabbage and mix the honey mustard coating up to a day ahead and store covered in the fridge. Toss the slaw just before serving.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
