Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken tenders
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0 as needed Cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs together with the milk until smooth.

Step 4

Place the flour in a third shallow dish.

Step 5

Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. One at a time, dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 7

Press the chicken tender into the seasoned panko mixture, firmly pressing to adhere the coating on all sides. Repeat with all chicken tenders.

Step 8

Arrange the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each strip.

Step 9

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray or drizzle a small amount of oil for extra crispiness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken strips are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
