Chicken Strips with Peanut Butter Sauce

Instructions

Chicken Strips

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a rimmed sheet pan with a rack placed on top. Spray the pan and the rack with cooking spray.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, minced onion, and mustard.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed crackers and sesame seeds.
4. Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1-inch strips.
5. Dip each chicken strip into the mayonnaise mixture and then into the crushed cracker mixture to coat. Continue until all chicken strips are coated in the cracker crumbs.
6. Place the prepared chicken strips onto the rack in a single layer.
7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the juices run clear. Check that a thermometer inserted into the thickest chicken strip reads 165°F.
8. While the chicken strips are baking, make the sauce.
9. Serve immediately with peanut butter dipping sauce.

Peanut Butter Sauce

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, whipping cream, corn syrup and brown sugar. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Continue stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is smooth. Be careful not to overcook.
3. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
4. If the sauce thickens too much, you can thin out with small increments of warm water or milk added until desired consistency is met.
5. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
