Crispy Baked Chicken Breast Tenders: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 25 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken breast tenders
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Cooking spray


Instructions

Creating Crispy Baked Chicken Breast Tenders is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Breading: In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Set Up Dipping Station: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the olive oil. This will help the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken.
4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through. Flip them halfway through for even crispiness.
7. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Cool and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

These steps ensure you’ll have perfectly crispy chicken tenders every time!
