Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs or regular bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned bread crumbs mixed with herbs or spices if desired.
- Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s coated evenly.
- Roll the chicken in the seasoned bread crumbs until fully coated.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly.
- Lightly spray the tenders with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for added crispiness.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Use panko bread crumbs for a crunchier coating.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even crispiness.
- Spraying with oil before baking enhances the crust’s crispness.
- Cooking at high heat ensures a crunchy exterior while keeping the chicken juicy.
