Description
Simple recipe for crispy chicken tenders coated in a rich garlic parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a second dish, place the beaten eggs.
- In a third dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured strip into the egg, letting excess drip off.
- Coat the strip thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place coated tenders on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through and golden brown.
- While baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not brown the garlic.
- Remove tenders from the oven. Place them in a large bowl.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the hot tenders and toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can shallow fry the tenders instead of baking.
- You can use pre-cut chicken tenderloins if preferred.
