Honey Garlic Butter Chicken Tenders

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken tenders with salt and black pepper.
2. Coat the Chicken:
   • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken tender in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

1. Fry the Chicken:
   • Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
2. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Add honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using) to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

1. Coat the Chicken in Sauce:
   • Once the chicken tenders are cooked, transfer them to a plate. Pour the honey garlic butter sauce over the chicken, coating them evenly.
2. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

1. Enjoy:
   • Serve the honey garlic butter chicken tenders with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
