Bread the Chicken
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

b) Pop the mayo into a medium bowl.

c) In a separate medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, roasted spice and herb blend and the oil for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for amount).

c) Cut each chicken breast into 2cm strips. Season with salt and pepper, then add to the bowl of mayo and mix to coat well. Pop the chicken pieces into the breadcrumbs, toss to coat, then transfer to a baking tray. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Prep the Queso Style Dip
2

a) Bake the chicken tenders on the top shelf of the oven until slightly golden and cooked through, 20-25 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

b) Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese. 

c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

d) In a medium saucepan, mix together the creme fraiche, garlic and cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside for now.

Dip, Dip, Hooray

c) Serve with the chicken strips for dipping.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The dish was generally well-received, though some found the herb mix overpowering or unpleasant.
  • Ease of prep: Reviewers found these chicken tenders easy to make, with one noting they've prepared them multiple times.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing the amount of seasoning or swapping the herb mix for paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Next-day meals: The tenders were popular enough that one customer made them four times in a week.
