Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into tenders, approximately 1-inch wide. Place the chicken in a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure all chicken pieces are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Take each piece of marinated chicken, first dredge it in the flour, ensuring it’s well-coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumb mixture. Press the bread crumbs onto the chicken to adhere well.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken tenders in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
