  • Author: Lordibra
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
  • Total Time: 18 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon dried parsley
– Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling


Instructions

Creating Crispy Homemade Baked Chicken Tenders is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into strips, making sure they are uniform in size for even cooking.
3. Set Up Breading Stations: In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first one, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and combine breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley in the third bowl.
4. Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken strip and coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing any surplus to drip off. Finally, dredge it in the seasoned breadcrumbs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded chicken tenders on the lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
6. Add Oil: Lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over the chicken tenders to promote browning and crispiness.
7. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through to achieve a golden-brown finish.
8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
9. Rest Before Serving: Once cooked, let the tenders rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps maintain their juiciness.

By following these easy steps, you’ll find yourself with a delectable batch of chicken tenders that are not only crispy but also full of flavor.
