Looking for a fun and unique twist on chicken tenders? These Peanut Butter Panda Puffs Crusted Chicken Tenders are a family favorite! Easy to make and delicious, they’re perfect for a quick meal or snack. Using the air fryer makes them crispy without the need for deep frying.

Ingredients

– Peanut Butter Panda Puffs cereal

– Chicken tenders or chicken breasts (tenderized and cut into strips)

– Organic olive oil spray

– Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime dressing (optional: dilute with mayo)

Directions

1. Process the Panda Puffs: Place the Peanut Butter Panda Puffs cereal into a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. This will be your coating for the chicken tenders.

2. Tenderize and Cut: Tenderize your chicken and cut it into strips. This helps the chicken cook evenly and stay juicy.

3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the processed Panda Puffs crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.

4. Line the Air Fryer: Place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of the air fryer to help with cleanup and prevent sticking.

5. Arrange the Chicken: Place the coated chicken strips in a single layer on the parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

6. Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the chicken with organic olive oil spray. This helps to achieve a crispy texture.

7. Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the chicken tenders for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Check for doneness; the chicken should be golden brown and cooked through.

8. Prepare the Dipping Sauce: If using Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime dressing, consider diluting it with a little bit of mayo if you prefer a milder kick.

9. Enjoy: Serve the chicken tenders hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
