Recipe by Courtney Anderson
Ingredients
2 packs Pine View Farms Chicken fillets (about 12 strips)
2/3 cup Bread crumbs
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt Pepper
Honey mustard brine:
2 tbsp salt
1 tsp Peppercorns
2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Mustard seeds
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp cane sugar
1 lemon
Dipping sauce:
2 parts Mustard
1 part Honey
(For a creamy sauce mix in 1 part mayo) Example: 2 tbsp mustard, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp mayo
Directions
- Brine: Bring 4 cups of water to boil, add in mustard seeds, peppercorns, salt, sugar and juiced lemon plus rind. Mix until salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat. Add in honey, mix until combined. Allow to cool before adding in chicken. Let chicken sit in brine (in the fridge) for a minimum of four hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Drain and Rinse chicken. Pat dry. Add breadcrumbs and spices to a bag, shake until combined. One at a time add chicken fillet to bag, shake until covered, remove from bag and add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all fillets are bread.
- Bake in oven at 425F for 20 minutes. Remove and enjoy with dipping sauce, on a salad, in a wrap or with your favourite sides.
