I would give it one star, but I honestly am unsure if it was me or the recipe, but it turned out really bad and very bland. I did use GF panko instead of Udi’s bread and also Golden Flaxseed meal instead of almond meal, so that may have made it worse as well?
Overall, very dissapointed.

Hi Michaela. I’m sorry it didn’t turn out as it should. Almond flour works best with the panko crust versus flaxmeal. I have found that flax meal is too slimy and doesn’t bake well for “crusting.” What brand of panko crumbs did you use?
This was amazing. My kids were saying yummy mom. This is soo good. My oldest begged for me to put it in the rotation. The only thing added was 1/2 tsp of dried oregano. No fresh oregano. And I left out the ginger because I didn’t have it. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. Can’t wait to explore your site for more..

Thank you:) great! Keep me posted
Thank for your writting. You have made it very clear that the problem is happening. I really like your way of thinking
Do you have a suggestion to replace the almond meal? I have an almond allergy. This looks really good!
sure! you could easily just grind up gluten free crackers or even pumpkin seeds. Haven’t tried it yet but I bet it would work!
Let have a look on the recipe of honey paprika chicken tenders, try it and have fun.
amazing recipe. thanks. I will follow your blog.

This is delicious, thank you for the recipe! Just noticed that Dijon mustard is listed in the ingredients but not included anywhere in the preparation of the dish. Is it supposed to be included at some point?
sorry about that. Just updated! 2 eggs whisked with 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
whoops, I mean 1 tsp mustard.
Loving this simple dinner recipe. The crust on here looks so fresh and crunchy! Looks great!
I will be on a lookout for Udis, sounds so good and this meal is so inspiring too. I am trying to go a little bit gluten free to see how I feel and I am loving it so far.
Great one my dear.
yes! you must! i think you’d love it Asha! Keep me posted
Girl I am 1000% with you on nourishing and feeding people. Sometimes I just don’t know how to say, ‘I love you’ but cooking and baking comes so much more naturally to me. I don’t create as amazing of recipes, but I love to take your recipes or other recipes and use those to provide and nourish my family. I’m so thankful God made us all different and that we can all say, ‘I love you’ in different ways.
And . . . whenever I come to your blog I almost feel like you’re hostessing us to your dinner with your descriptions of the food.
You are so wonderful and caring! I love that you support us and feed others at the same time. thank you Em!
Loving this simple dinner recipe. The crust on here looks so fresh and crunchy! Looks great!

I love millet! Evie makes fun of me cause it’s bird food, but whatever. I’m sure she’d gobble this up. We totally had Chick-fil-a fried chicken today. Oops… should probably stick to this cleaner chicken.
haha just roll the millet in steak and she’s good. right?
I LOVE paprika! And I can’t believe I haven’t seen this bread by Udi’s. Def need to check it out!
right? Udis is amazing!!
OMG – that is my thing & looks so amazing!!!!!! I don’t have to be GF but I would eat it just like that!!!!!!
it’s so good and easy!! You’d love!
Panko crusted chicken is one of my girls’ favorite dinners and I love that it’s such a healthy alternative to chicken fingers and nuggets (neither of which have my girls ever had!). I actually just posted my recipe the other day, but I was thinking I didn’t give an alternative for people on a GF diet. Well, thank you, b/c now I have it! Love all the spices and herbs you used in the coating too!
Oh wonderful! glad you have an option now for GF! YAY!
Love the look of this Lindsay! That texture looks insane crunchy! I’ll have to track down a different brand here in the UK, but it’s on the list to make for sure!
let me know what you find and if you try it friend!
That crunch looks amazing! So amazing I might actually make me like chicken. I’m also drawn to that bowl of sauce, what is it?
I think this crust would be good on tofu as well! or fish!
The sauce is a yogurt base with lemon and spices and cilantro
I’m not gluten-free, but I love Udi’s! Such a great range of products.
Yes, Udi’s is awesome!!
I’ve been loving sheet pan dinners and WOAH why have I not made my own panko crumbs?! I Love Udi’s so I’m definitely going to try making my own panko!
Great! You’ll love how easy it is!
I recently had to ‘revise’ my diet because of a health issue and honestly my recipes are getting a bit boring because of it. Love the inspiration here, since I already buy Udi’s. Can’t wait to try it!
wonderful! so glad you can now “spice up” gluten free dinner ideas! let me know if you try this siliva
Thank you Udi’s I’m recently gluten-free and I’m so happy they make these delicious breads. Breaded chicken is my favorite dinner and I can’t wait to make this.
You’ll love Janette! Enjoy!
Da Bomb sounds about right! I really love the ingredients and method of this recipe. Nest up to bat!
Great! Thanks!
Thiiiiis looks like a Miguel meal for sure! I mean, anything with chicken is, but I’m loving this version.
I think Miguel and James are related! haha
I love my sheetbpan chicken parmasean. I’m sure I would love this! Hand me a plate please!!!
