Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken tenders
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
• 1/4 cup mango puree

Instructions

2. Set Up Breading Station: Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each tender in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
