Description
Delicious homemade baked chicken tenders that are crispy, flavorful, and a healthier alternative to fried options.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
- Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, followed by the egg, then coat each 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.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider double-breading the chicken strips. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
