Chicken Tenders
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Set Up Breading Station
Set up a three-bowl breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken tender in flour, dip in the egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake the Chicken
Place the breaded chicken tenders on a baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare Tacos
While the chicken is baking, warm taco shells according to package instructions. Once chicken is done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
