Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mustard, honey, and mayonnaise. Stir until fully combined. Add chicken tenderloins to the bowl and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
In a shallow dish, mix together cornflake crumbs, dry mustard, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat each chicken strip by pressing it into the cornflake crumb mixture, flipping to coat both sides.
Air Fryer: Place coated tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly mist with cooking spray. Set air fryer to 390°F and cook for 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes, until fully cooked and golden.
Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange coated chicken tenders and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until fully cooked and crispy.

Notes

Spicy Honey Mustard: Add hot sauce to the marinade for a spicy twist.
Gluten-Free: Substitute cornflake crumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
Herbs: Try adding thyme, rosemary, or oregano to the crumb mixture for added flavor.
