Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each chicken tender into the flour, shaking off excess. Next, coat it in the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks.
- Place the breaded tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crunch.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
