  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Place coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add Parmesan cheese or your favorite herbs to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
