Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders
1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Olive oil spray (optional)
Directions
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Prepare Coating Stations:
Set up three bowls:
Bowl 1: Add flour.
Bowl 2: Beat eggs.
Bowl 3: Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Chicken:
Dredge each chicken tender in flour, dip it in the eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
Bake to Perfection:
Place the tenders on the baking sheet. Spray with olive oil for extra crispiness (optional). Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F).
Serve:
Pair with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
