In trying to come up with new recipes using this seasoning, I gave Everything Bagel Chicken Tenders a whirl.

Well, since I am posting it you know it was a hit!

I am seriously in love with Everything Bagel seasoning.

The mix of sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and poppy seeds is just absolute perfection.

How to make Everything Bagel Chicken Tenders

I mixed the Everything Bagel seasoning with some plain Italian bread crumbs and also a little kosher salt and pepper.

This will be the breading for the chicken.

One of many weird food mottos is that just about everything needs a sauce.

Hey, I’m saucy, what can I say?!

The sauce for this dish is cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper.

Because of the cream cheese, it does need to be mixed with a hand blender.

Once it’s blended, stir in some chopped chives and you have the perfect sauce for the chicken.

When the oven is preheated to 400 degrees, go ahead and bread the chicken strips.

These are just chicken breasts that I cut into strips.

Dip each chicken tender in some beaten egg (mixed with a tiny bit of water to thin it out) and then into the breading.

Press the breading into the chicken so it sticks on all sides.

Then onto a wire baking rack over a lined baking sheet.

The wire rack will help crisp the chicken on all sides.

And the lined baking sheet will catch all the drippings and make for easy clean up.

These will bake for 30 minutes, and no need to flip or anything 🙂
