Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup lowfat sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 3/4 cup plain panko crumbs
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- Assorted crudites, such as radishes, cucumber spears, and carrot sticks, optional
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a small baking sheet generously with nonstick cooking spray.
To make the dip, combine the buttermilk, sour cream and vinegar in a medium bowl. Add the blue cheese and mash with a fork, until blended. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Season the chicken with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Lightly beat the egg white and water in a medium bowl. Combine the panko and cayenne on a sheet of waxed paper. Dip each tender into the egg whites, shaking off excess, and then roll into the panko to coat. Place the chicken on the baking sheet in 1 layer and generously spray with cooking spray. Bake on the top rack of the oven until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with the dip and assorted crudites.

Pretty good.
Dip: It was a big thin, something to make it a bit thicker would be nice.
Chicken: Add more spices to the breadcrumbs like onion and garlic powder and a bit of paprika for flavor.

I seasoned the chicken in Emeril Essence as a marinade. It gave the chicken great flavor and a little kick. The panko crust was just right. Everyone loved them. Very easy and flavorful.
