Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir well.
In a separate shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs and add the low-sodium chicken broth. Mix until well combined.
Place the unsalted panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each chicken tenderloin in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drop off, then coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the chicken tenderloins for added crispiness.
Bake the chicken tenderloins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy baked chicken tenderloins warm with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce or sides.
