Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb chicken tenders
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.75 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Mix the panko, parmesan, garlic powder, and salt together in a shallow dish.
  2. Dredge each tender in flour, then egg, then press into the parmesan-panko mixture.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the tenders 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Drain on paper towels and serve with marinara for dipping.

Notes

Real grated parmesan crisps up better than the powdery shelf-stable kind.
