Prepare the Chicken
Trim the chicken breast of any excess fat and cut it into strips about 1 inch wide.

Dredge the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Cooking

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
Preparing Dipping Sauce (optional)
