Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk, and seasoned breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each chicken tender in flour, dip in the egg mixture, then press into the breadcrumbs.
  4. Place the breaded chicken tenders onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the tenders rest for a minute before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken tenders are similar in size for even cooking. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
