Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumb
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
- Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- Ensure oven is preheated for even cooking.
- Spray chicken tenders before baking for a crisp crust.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to promote even baking.
