Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Sauce

Chicken:
1/2 c flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 c fresh bread crumbs
2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp dried Italian herb seasoning
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into short strips, approximately 2 inches long

Sauce:
1/4 c honey
2 Tbs whole-grain mustard
2 Tbs Dijon mustard

1. For the chicken: Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Place the egg in a second shallow bowl. In a third shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Old Bay, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
2. Coat the chicken strips first with the flour, then with the egg, and finally with the crumb mixture. Place on a plate or a large sheet of waxed paper. mist both sides of the chicken pieces with nonstick cooking spray. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 3o minutes to allow the breading to set. Bring to room temperature.
3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Set over medium-high heat until hot. Place the chicken in the skillet in a single layer (work in batches, if necessary) and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until the crumbs are browned. Transfer the strips to a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees and the meat is no longer pink in the center when sliced into with a sharp knife.
4. For the sauce: in a small bowl, mix the honey and mustards. Serve with the chicken.

I didn't have the Old Bay seasoning, so I used a crumb mixture with parmesan cheese, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for the breading part.

Also, the honey mustard sauce is good with normal mustard if you don't like dijon, or you can substitute mustard pwd for the whole seeds.
