1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into tenders, about 1-2 inches wide. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour (seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika), beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.

3
Bread the Chicken Tenders
Dip each chicken tender first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
