Place the rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with the olive oil.
Crush the cheddar crackers by placing them in a plastic bag, sealing it and using a rolling pin to crush the crackers until finely ground. Transfer crackers to a wide, shallow bowl; stir in the paprika.
In a separate wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs with the Dijon mustard.
Place the flour in a third wide, shallow bowl.
Bread each chicken tender by coating first in the flour, shaking off any excess, and then dipping it in the eggs. Transfer the tender from the eggs to the crackers, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to ensure an even coating, and then placing the tender on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tenders, arranging them in a single layer about 2 inches apart.
Bake, turning over once, until golden brown, about 15 minutes total.
