1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.
2
Season the Chicken
In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Coat the chicken strips evenly with the seasoning mixture.

3
Set Up Breading Station
Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
4
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each strip is fully covered.

5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
6
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7
Drain
Once cooked, remove chicken tenders from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
