Marinate the chicken: Combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Toss the chicken strips in the mixture, ensuring they’re well-coated. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes while you prep the breading.¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 pounds chicken tenders
