1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.
3
Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
4
Cook the Chicken Tenders
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken tenders in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
5
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, place the tenders on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
