Chicken Tenders
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they are not wet.
- 2
Set Up Breading Stations
In three separate shallow dishes, set up your breading stations: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cooking
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat with the breadcrumbs mixture. Press the crumbs onto the chicken to make sure they stick.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
- 5
Cook the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
