Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders (or chicken breasts cut into strips)

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp milk

  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  3. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  4. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly so the coating sticks well.

  5. Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

  6. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them brown.

  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F).

  8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.

  • Add a little cayenne pepper for some heat.

  • These reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
