Planet Hollywood Captain Crunch Chicken

Mysterygirl's Note:

This is great and a real kid pleaser. The creole mustard sauce sets off the sweetness of the chicken just right. DH saw a demonstration of the recipe on an early morning show and searched the recipe out for me.

I tried this last night and it was fabulous!! Just like the restaurant! The mustard sauce is dead on! You can't use different ingredients at all or it won't be the same! Absolutely fabulous!!!!

I really, really wanted to like this recipe... but sadly I didn't. The sweetness of the breading was not overpowering but just didn't quite work for me. I'll try using more corn flakes and less captain crunch next time, I'm also going to play around with the spices used.

So yummy thanks for including the mustard sauce; a lot of sources for the chicken tenders, but I've been experimenting for years to duplicate the sauce to no avail. GREAT; I bake the chicken for an almost healthy snack. lol
