1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1-inch wide, to form chicken tenders.
2
Season the Chicken
In a bowl, season the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
3
Set Up Breading Station
Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. This will be your breading station.

4
Bread the Chicken
Take a chicken strip, dredge it in flour, ensuring it's fully coated, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat this process for all chicken strips.
5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
6
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
