Lemon Chicken Tenders with a hint of Curry

Carole's Chatter: Lemon Chicken Tenders with a hint of Curry

I found some Chicken Tenders on sale – they were a real bargain so I decided to make up a dish using them.  It turned out to be Lemon Chicken with a hint of Curry – and I can recommend it to you.

Get your oven quite hot.

Mix the following up and then sprinkle it onto the tenders.

½ tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Then dip each tender into 2 beaten eggs and then into some well seasoned breadcrumbs. 

Bake your tenders for about 15 minutes (more if you are using other chicken cuts) – turn the tenders over once in the middle.

While they are cooking, make your sauce – heat the following and stir until it is nice and sauce like:

½ cup sugar
½ cup lemon juice
Splosh of limoncello (optional obviously)
2tsp curry powder (less if you want just the merest hint of curry)

Pour it over the chicken and bake for 5 more minutes (I turned the oven off and just let the residual heat do its work).

  7. Great idea to use the limoncello in cooking! I tried a new brand, just as expensive as the first one I tried and loved, but I don't like the new one and now have a whole bottle of it to use up!
