Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Panko for extra crunch)
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
– Olive oil spray (for greasing)


Instructions

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

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into strips and set them aside.
3. Set Up Dredging Stations:
– In one bowl, place the flour and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
– In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
– In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
4. Dredge Chicken:
– Take a chicken strip, coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
– Dip it in the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated.
– Finally, roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing down to adhere well. Repeat for all strips.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching for even baking.
6. Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
9. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

With these steps, you will enjoy making and eating these tender, golden nuggets of goodness.
