Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken tenders
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- as needed Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs together with the milk until smooth.
Place the flour in a third shallow dish.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. One at a time, dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press the chicken tender into the seasoned panko mixture, firmly pressing to adhere the coating on all sides. Repeat with all chicken tenders.
Arrange the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each strip.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray or drizzle a small amount of oil for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken strips are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
