Instructions:
Preparing the Chicken Strips:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In another shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese with salt and pepper.
Coat the Chicken Strips: Dip each chicken strip into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge the egg-coated chicken strip in the Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere the cheese to the chicken.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.
Bake: Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Preparing the Mock Honey Mustard Dressing:
Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until well combined.
Sweeten to Taste: Add your sweetener of choice gradually, tasting as you go until you reach your desired level of sweetness. Remember, keto-friendly sweeteners can vary in sweetness, so adjust accordingly.
Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, you can thin it out by adding a little water or more apple cider vinegar, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve: Transfer the mock honey mustard dressing to a serving bowl or ramekin. It’s now ready to be served alongside your delicious chicken strips.
Enjoy Your Keto Dinner:
Dip the crispy chicken strips into the mock honey mustard dressing and savor the delightful combination of flavors. This keto-friendly meal is not only delicious but also satisfyingly wholesome. Enjoy!
