Ingredients
  

  • 500 g chicken tenders
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Dip each chicken tender into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crumbs to the chicken.
  • Place the coated chicken tenders onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
  • Serve the chicken tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

    Is parma cheese really necessary? I don’t have any. Can I just use cheddar?

      No way! Parm is the best part! Cheddar’s not gonna taste the same. You should just get some parmesan!

      Yeah, cheddar should be fine! It’ll give a different flavor but still be tasty. I never bother with fancy cheese anyway.

      They turned out amazing? Seriously? I tried a similar recipe and they came out soggy. What did you do differently?

    2nd batch needs more spices, but overall a nice recipe! Gonna tweak it a bit!

    1. 4 stars
      I thought the spices were just right! Maybe you just need to experiment more. Glad you liked it overall!

      More spices? Nah, I think it’s already too salty! I ain’t got the taste for all that. Keep it simple!

    I followed the recipe but mine turned out soggy. What did I do wrong? Any tips?

    Chicken tenders are da bomb! I added some hot sauce to the egg wash and it was lit! 🔥

    This was easy! My kids loved them. I used ranch dressing as a dip and it was a hit!

      Ranch dressing? That’s a great idea! I usually go for BBQ sauce, but I’ll have to try that next time. Glad your kids enjoyed it!

    Easy and quick! Used Italian bread crumbs instead of regular and it made a big difference. So flavorful!

      But isn’t that a bit weird? Italian breadcrumbs with chicken? I dunno if that sounds good…

    2. 4 stars
      I’m glad it worked out for you! I’ve always used regular breadcrumbs. Maybe I’ll try Italian next time!

    I followed the recipe but mine turned out kinda soggy. Maybe I didn’t bake them long enough? Not sure what went wrong.

    I don’t see how this could work… I’ve never had luck with oven-baked anything.

    1. 3 stars
      Oven-baked stuff can be tricky, but if you watch the time, it might work! Good luck!

    2. 5 stars
      I used to think the same but these tenders surprised me! Just follow the steps and you’ll see!

    Yummm, good recipe. I just mixed in some ranch seasoning to the coating, nice twist! 😋

    Chicken tenders? Aren’t those just for kids? I prefer a nice steak, lol.

    Delicious! But I think there’s way too much cheese… Next time I’ll cut back on it.

  15. 3 stars
    I accidently put too much paprika and now they taste like a campfire! LOL.

    I followed the recipe but they turned out kinda soggy. Maybe my breadcrumb was too old?

  17. 5 stars
    These chicken tenders are absolutely delicious! I made them for my kids and they couldn’t get enough. Will definitely make again! 😊

      I’m so glad your kids loved them! These are a hit in my house too! 😊

      They look good, but isn’t frying them a bit better? I don’t believe baking makes them crispy enough.
