Parmesan Chicken Tenders: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
– 1 cup flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for added crunch)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray or oil for baking


Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create scrumptious Parmesan Chicken Tenders:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy coating.
3. Set Up Breading Stations: In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper).
4. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken tender in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down lightly to adhere.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave space between each tender for even cooking.
6. Spray with Cooking Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the tenders with cooking spray or drizzle with a small amount of oil to encourage browning.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Follow these simple steps for perfectly crispy and cheesy Parmesan Chicken Tenders every time.
