Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
Salt to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: In three separate bowls, place flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; beaten eggs; and breadcrumbs.
Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Ensure an even coating.
Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Mango Dipping Sauce: In a blender, combine diced mango, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
Serve: Arrange the chicken tenders on a platter with the mango dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
