Ingredients

1 cup fresh blackberries or raspberries, finely chopped
1 ½ Tbsp whole-grain mustard
2 tsp honey
1 lb chicken tenders, cut in half crosswise (see Tip)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
3 Tbsp cornmeal
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Mash blackberries (or raspberries), mustard and honey in a small bowl until it looks like a chunky sauce.

2. Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl, add the chicken and toss to coat (discard any leftover cornmeal).

3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook the chicken, turning once or twice, until browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total (thinner nuggets will cook faster than thicker ones). Serve the chicken nuggets with the berry mustard.

Tip: Chicken tenders are the lean strips of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of chicken breasts. They can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded “chicken nuggets.”
