Ingredients

4 Sanderson Farms® Chicken Tenders , 1/8" sliced crosswise
1 (16 ounce) French baguette sliced into 30 ½-inch slices
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups ½-inch diced baby bella mushrooms with stems removed
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2½ teaspoons fresh chopped thyme, divided
1 teaspoon fresh chopped garlic
¼ cup sliced roasted red bell peppers, ¼" X 1"
2/3 cup goat cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bread slices on prepared baking sheet. Brush bread slices with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake 20 minutes.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 teaspoon of thyme and garlic. Cook 2 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Place chicken mixture in a mixing bowl, draining any accumulated juices.
Add roasted bell peppers to chicken mixture. Mix.
Spread about a teaspoon of goat cheese on each crostini. Top each with chicken and mushroom mixture, pressing it down lightly, and sprinkle each with the remaining chopped thyme.
