Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fiber One Original cereal
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 pound Chicken tenders
- 2 large Eggs
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the Fiber One Original cereal in a food processor and pulse until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Add the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the ground cereal. Mix well to combine.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until fully blended.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel. Dip each tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Transfer the tender to the cereal mixture and press to coat evenly on all sides. Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the coated chicken tenders with olive oil spray to ensure crispiness during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Cook until the chicken tenders are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
