My friend Stephanie turned me on to these. It's the perfect picnic item. We use those already tender-shaped tenders from the store. You could easily use breasts or thighs - chicken that is.

Ingredients

  • 12 chicken tenders, or 3 boneless skinless breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons celery salt
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup bread crumbs - I like the Japanese kind, panko
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps

  1. Mix sour cream, lemon juice, celery salt, Worcestershire and garlic in a bowl
  2. Add chicken, coat well
  3. Allow to marinate anywhere from 1/2 an hour to overnight - longer is better
  4. Heat oven to 350
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and cover in crumbs - place on a greased baking sheet
  6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and drizzle with butter
  7. Bake 40-45 minutes
  8. Serve with any kind of dipping sauce - plum would be good. Stephanie mixes apricot jam and horseradish.
