Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with bread crumbs. Place on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Add chicken strips to the skillet, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with chosen sides.
