Healthy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Dip

• 1 lb chicken tenderloins
• 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• Olive oil spray
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
4. Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg wash, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
5. Place the breaded chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Spray the tenders lightly with olive oil spray.
6. Air fry the chicken tenders for 10 minutes, then flip them over, spray the other side with olive oil spray, and continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the honey mustard dip. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and paprika until well combined.
8. Once the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately with the homemade honey mustard dip on the side.
