You won’t believe these crispy chicken fingers came from the oven. Serve them up with sweet parsnip fries and a bright plant-based yogurt, spiked with garlic and harissa, for an easy weeknight supper.
Contains: tree nuts, wheat. Note: The chicken may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
What You Get
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see note below)
Panko bread crumbs
Parsnips
Garlic
Plant-based Greek yogurt
Harissa spice
What You'll Need
Vegetable or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Eggs
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line 2 sheet pans with foil or parchment paper and coat with vegetable oil.
Step 2
Slice the chicken into strips about ½ inch thick. In a bowl, stir together the panko and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, season with salt, and beat with a fork. Dredge each chicken strip in the eggs, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Coat with the panko mixture, pressing to help the crumbs stick. Lay the chicken strips on one of the pans.
Step 3
Bake until the chicken is crispy and golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to bake until golden on the other side, 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Meanwhile, cut the parsnips into sticks about ¼ inch thick. Pile the parsnips on the other pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
Step 5
To make the harissa yogurt, chop 1 to 2 cloves of garlic. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, yogurt, and harissa spice until combined.
Step 6
Arrange the chicken tenders and parsnip fries on plates and serve warm, with the harissa yogurt for dipping.
