There’s something universally appealing about chicken tenders. Maybe it’s the crispy, golden breading or the tender, flavorful meat inside. Whatever it is, my Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders recipe has become a family favorite for a reason. This dish is perfect for those who seek the comfort of a home-cooked meal without spending hours in the kitchen.
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins,
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs,
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese,
- 1 tsp garlic powder,
- 1 tsp onion powder,
- 1 tsp smoked paprika,
- 1/2 tsp salt,
- 1/4 tsp black pepper,
- 2 large eggs,
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a shallow dish, mix together panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Dip each chicken tender first into the egg wash, then into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat well. Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden and crispy.
