Chicken Tenders Recipe

Chicken Tenders

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Start by cutting the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide. This will create your chicken tenders.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

3. 3

   Bread the Chicken

   Take each chicken strip and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet generously.

5. 5

   Cook the Chicken Tenders

   Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
