Description

Crispy and savory chicken tenders coated with Panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, infused with garlic flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup white flour
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Trim excess fat from the chicken tenders for even cooking.
  3. Prepare three bowls: mix flour with salt and pepper in one, combine olive oil and minced garlic in another, and mix Panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese in the last bowl.
  4. Coat each chicken tender in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully covered.
  5. Dip each floured chicken tender in the garlic oil mixture.
  6. Finally, coat each tender with the Panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure it sticks.
  7. Arrange the chicken tenders on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the tenders and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Notes

Serve hot with a selection of dipping sauces, such as ranch or garlic aioli.
