Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwiches

Categories Recipes2 Comments on Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwiches

Seasoned breaded chicken strips, honey mustard tang, and smokey gouda cheese; these Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwiches pack a huge flavor punch!  We recommend serving them up with a side of your favorite fries.

The baked chicken portion of the recipe can also be made on its own if you enjoy having chicken tenders on hand for snacking, salads, etc.  They’re very versatile!

My husband gets the credit for this one as it was his perfect solution for switching up burger night.  It’s definitely a crowd-pleaser! 

Servings: Approx. 4 Sandwiches 

Ingredients:

FOR THE CHICKEN

  • 1 lb Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 Cup Flour (we used white whole wheat)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 Cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp Tangy Garlic Spice Blend (linked, or equivalent)
  • 1 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt

FOR THE HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 3 1/2 Tbsp Coarse Ground Dijon Mustard
  • 5 Tbsp Honey
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

TO SERVE, FOR EACH SANDWICH

  • A Brioche Bun
  • Lettuce
  • Dill Pickles
  • Red Onion Slices
  • A Smoked Gouda Slice

Directions:

PREP AND BAKE THE CHICKEN STRIPS

Preheat the oven to 425°

Cover a baking sheet with foil (to prevent sticking)

Spread the flour on a large plate, and beat the eggs together in a bowl

In another medium-sized bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic spice blend, onion powder, salt, and pepper 

Slice the chicken breasts into 2-3” strips

Roll each chicken strip in the flour until coated, then dip into the eggs. Roll the egg-covered chicken in the breadcrumb mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet

Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes – The breading should be browned and crispy when done

MAKE THE SAUCE

While the chicken is baking, prepare the honey mustard sauce

Melt the butter and whisk it together with the mustard, honey, and spices until the sauce is smooth

(Note that the sauce may thicken if left to stand. Briefly reheating it in the microwave will return it to a more liquid state)

ASSEMBLE SANDWICHES

When the chicken is ready, dunk each breaded strip in the sauce until fully coated 

For each sandwich, place chicken strips on a warm brioche bun and melt a slice of gouda over them. Top with lettuce, onions and pickles

Enjoy!
