Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb chicken tenders
  • 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix panko, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish; drizzle in olive oil and toss.
  3. Dip each tender in beaten egg, then press into the crumb mixture.
  4. Arrange on the sheet and bake 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon or a light dip.

Notes

Toasting the panko in a dry pan first gives extra crunch without frying.
