Ingredients
Scale
Gather these simple ingredients to create a dish that’s sure to become a family favorite. Here’s what you need:
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
Substitution tip: If you’re out of panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs will do just fine. For a gluten-free option, try using almond flour or crushed cornflakes.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to whip up these crispy wonders:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a second dish, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Take each chicken tender and dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.
- Arrange the chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Personal tip: A dash of cayenne pepper in the breadcrumb mixture adds a subtle kick that my family loves!
