  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dunk each chicken strip in flour, then egg, then coat evenly with the bread crumb mixture.
  4. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning once halfway through cooking.
