I like to serve them over some hot, steamed rice with a drizzle of soy sauce, and broccoli on the side but this would be great with cauliflower fried rice or quinoa fried rice  with some stir fried vegetables.

How To Make Encrusted Chicken Tenders

  1. Start with a mix of sesame seeds and panko as your breading and put that in a shallow dish.
  2. Rather than dipping the chicken in egg, I mix sesame oil with soy sauce in a shallow bowl and use it to coat the chicken before pressing my crumbs on. This adds wonderful Asian flavor to the chicken.
  3. Then spritz the chicken evenly on both sides with oil before baking or cooking in the air fryer.

How To Meal Prep

Place 3/4 cup rice in each meal prep container, top with 2 pieces chicken and steamed veggies on the side. Refrigerate up to 4 days. I really love this glass Meal Prep Set from Pyrex, (affil link) the set comes with different size glass containers with lids that are easy to close and wash.
