Cheesy Oven-fried Chicken Tenders
Great recipe in local newspaper supplement a while back … so easy!

1/2 teas. freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
Put rack in lower third of oven. Pre-heat to 475 degrees. Brush cooking sheet with olive oil.
Toss tenders in mustard, then dredge in cracker crumbs mixed with black pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, turning once (Use a spatula to lift crust.)
