Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Add breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Remove chicken tenders from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Fries or Sweet Potato Fries

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    If making regular fries, wash and cut the potatoes into thin strips. For sweet potato fries, peel and cut sweet potatoes into strips.

  2. 8

    Season the Potatoes

    In a bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 9

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Serve

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the chicken tenders hot alongside the fries or sweet potato fries, and include a can of your chosen soft drink.
