Crispy baked chicken tenders made with tender chicken breasts coated in a flavorful breadcrumb mixture, baked until golden and crispy for a healthier alternative to fried tenders.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each chicken strip in flour, then eggs, then coat thoroughly with panko mixture.
  4. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add grated Parmesan cheese or your favorite herbs to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Ensure chicken pieces are evenly coated for maximum crispiness.
