Servings 4 serves
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast or chicken tenderloins
- ½ cup plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 2 large corn cobs husks removed
- Honey Mustard Yoghurt Sauce:
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Slice the chicken breast into even-sized strips or use chicken tenderloins. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Place the flour in one shallow bowl and whisk the eggs in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into the seasoned breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken tenders in batches for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccolini and corn cobs and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
- Add the Greek yoghurt, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, lemon juice, and salt to a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Arrange the crumbed chicken tenders, broccolini, and corn on the cob on plates. Serve with the honey mustard yoghurt sauce for dipping and fresh lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
