Chicken Tenders

Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips. In one bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken tenders in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Fries

    While the chicken is frying, peel and cut the potatoes into fries. In a separate pot, heat oil for frying. Once hot, add fries and cook until golden and crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Place three chicken tenders on a plate alongside a generous portion of fries. Enjoy your Chicken Tenders Basket!
