Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place the minced onion, garlic flakes, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, black pepper and coarse salt on a plate and mix it all together.
- Coat the chicken tenders with some EVOO, giving them a toss to make sure they are completely covered.
- Place skewers through each chicken tender lengthwise.
- Dip each skewer of chicken into the seed mixture and turn to coat.
- Continue until all the chicken have been coated then transfer skewers to a nonstick baking sheet and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them over about mid-way through the time.
- While the chicken is cooking make the dipping sauce:
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream.
- Stir in the chopped scallions and season with a little salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the chicken tenders from the oven and serve with the scallion-cream cheese dipping sauce.
- Enjoy! ;).
