Preparing Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the chicken breasts into strips.

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Drizzle olive oil over the breaded chicken strips and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Making Herb Hummus
