Juicy and tender chicken tenders coated with seasoned breadcrumbs and baked to perfection for a healthier, crispy snack or meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) chicken tenders or chicken breast strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then the eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway through for even crispiness.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add some grated Parmesan cheese or hot sauce to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Ensure chicken pieces are evenly coated for consistent crispiness.
  • Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or ketchup.
