For the Chicken Tenders

For Serving

Method

Preparing the Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken tenders with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    Prepare three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken Tenders

    Take each marinated chicken tender and dredge it in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Cooking the Chicken Tenders

  1. 4

    Frying Method

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken tenders, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 5

    Grilling Method

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken tenders for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Chicken

    Arrange the cooked chicken tenders on a plate with lettuce leaves. Add cherry tomatoes on the side.

  2. 7

    Add Dressing

    Serve with ranch dressing drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
