Baked chicken tenders are a delicious and healthier alternative to fried chicken tenders. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use seasoned breadcrumbs or add your own seasonings)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
- Dip each chicken tender into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
- Place the coated chicken tenders onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
- Bake the chicken tenders in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the baked chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
Enjoy your delicious and crispy baked chicken tenders!
