Crispy Homemade Baked Chicken Tenders: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe

  • Total Time: 30 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko preferred for extra crunch)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
– Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your own Crispy Homemade Baked Chicken Tenders:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the boneless chicken breasts into thin strips, ensuring that they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

3. Make the Coating: In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

4. Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil or melted butter until well combined.

5. Dredge the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip first into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each strip is fully covered for the best crunch.

6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Space them evenly to allow for proper cooking and crisping.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The tenders should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
