Chicken Tenders Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into tender-sized strips and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Grilling Option

    Preheat a grill to medium heat. Brush the chicken tenders with olive oil and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Crispy Option

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the breaded tenders on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
