I love the flavor profile of everything bagels, so I re-created it with traditional breaded chicken fingers. Serve them with your favorite chicken finger dip. —Cynthia Gerken, Naples, Florida

Ingredients

1 day-old everything bagel, torn
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 pound chicken tenderloins
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Pulse torn bagel in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Place 1/2 cup bagel crumbs in a shallow bowl; toss with panko, cheese and pepper flakes. (Save remaining bagel crumbs for another use.)
2. In a microwave-safe shallow bowl, microwave butter until melted. Sprinkle chicken with salt. Dip in warm butter, then coat with crumb mixture, patting to help adhere. Place on a greased rack in a 15x10x1-in. pan.
3. Bake until breading is golden brown and chicken is no longer pink, 15-17 minutes.
