2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge in Flour: Coat each chicken tender in all-purpose flour.
  4. Dip in Eggs: Next, dip the floured tenders in beaten eggs.
  5. Prepare Coating: In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
  6. Coat Chicken: Roll each egg-coated tender in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.
  7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle melted butter over them.
  8. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider double-coating the tenders by repeating the flour and egg steps before the breadcrumb coating.

These tenders can be frozen before baking. Freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding extra time.
