Sesame Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders with Mandarin Orange-Ginger Dressing
We Loved this meal so much! the tenders were simple to make (love that there wasn't a flour/egg/breading component) and had incredible flavour.
A healthful, Whole30-compliant avocado and mandarin orange salad topped with crisp sesame-crusted baked chicken tenders and drizzled with a creamy mandarin-ginger dressing. Recipe makes plenty of dressing – perfect for leftovers and quick salads.
For best results, marinate chicken overnight or for at least 4 hours. Since the marinade and dressing share several ingredients, I found it easiest to prep both at the same time. Finally, a note on sesame seeds: though toasted sesame seeds can be purchased at the store, for optimal flavor, I recommend buying un-toasted sesame seeds and toasting at home.
