Instructions
 

Preparation and Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip it in eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the coated chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Lightly spray the tenders with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to help them crisp up.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crunch, try adding grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture. You can also season the flour or breadcrumbs with other spices like onion powder or cayenne for a kick.
