Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Shallow bowls
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken tenderloins dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving that perfectly crispy coating!
  2. In one shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until combined. In a separate bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure full coverage.
  4. Spread the breaded chicken tenders in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  5. Once baked, remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a splash of color (and flavor!).

Notes

Leftovers reheat beautifully in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet to warm up for about 10 minutes at 350°F.
