Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get things heated up and ready for your tenders to cook to perfection.
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Dip each chicken strip into the beaten eggs, ensuring they’re fully coated, and let the excess drip off.
- Roll each strip in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
- Arrange the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces for a delightful finishing touch.
Notes
For best results, do not rush the coating process. Experiment with herbs and spices in the breadcrumb mix for a unique flavor.
