Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs, plain or Panko for extra crunch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Cooking spray or drizzle of oil

Instructions

  1. Prep. Preheat your oven to 400°F or 200°C. Use paper towels to dry the raw tenders. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set up the breading station by adding the flour and dried seasonings to one pie plate or shallow dish. In a second dish, add the eggs and water, whisked. In a third dish, add the breadcrumbs.
  2. Dredge and dip. Dip each tender in the flour, egg, then breadcrumbs, shaking off excess between the first two steps. Apply light pressure in the third step, to push the breadcrumbs onto the meat.
  3. Arrange. Arrange the breaded tenders on the baking sheet, space evenly apart. Spray them lightly with cooking spray or mist with oil.
  4. Bake. Bake the tenders for 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches  165°F or 74°C.
