Yield: 6 servings | GF*

For the Sauce

¾ cup sour cream

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon mustard

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Fresh ground black pepper

Dash hot sauce (optional)

For the Chicken Tenders

2 cups buttermilk

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon mustard

4 pounds chicken breast tenderloins

14 ounces cheese puffs, pulverized

To make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, onion powder, and salt. Season with black pepper to taste and add hot sauce (if using). Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

To make the chicken tenders: In a large container that seals well, combine the buttermilk, salt, paprika, onion powder, and mustard. Add the chicken and turn until well coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven and two baking sheets to 425°F. Line a third baking sheet with parchment paper.

Set up a dredging station by covering a large plate with about a third of the cheese puffs. One at a time, remove the chicken tenders from the marinade and dredge in the cheese puff coating, pressing gently to help it adhere. Place the coated tender on the third prepared baking sheet. When the parchment paper is full, carefully transfer the chicken on its parchment to one of the baking sheets in the oven. Line the third baking sheet with another piece of parchment. Repeat this process, adding more cheese puff coating to the plate as needed, until all the tenders are coated and in the oven.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F.

Allow to rest on the baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve with the sauce on the side.

Note

This recipe can be easily made gluten-free by using a gluten-free cheese puff.
