Chicken Tenders (5) Recipe

Chicken Tenders Directions

1. 1

   Prepare Chicken

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

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

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, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

5. 5

   Cook the Chicken Tenders

   Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until 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 excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
