- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3 cups whole wheat panko bread crumbs
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips

- Stir whole wheat flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a shallow bowl. Stir bread crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in another shallow bowl. Place beaten eggs in another shallow bowl.

- Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve with reserved mustard sauce.
