Baked Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken tenders, cut into 1/2-inch strips lengthwise
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients before commencing the cooking process.
2
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
3
In one shallow dish, position the egg. In a separate large zip-top bag, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together.
4
Dip two chicken strips into the egg, making sure to coat them evenly. Then, place these coated chicken pieces into the panko mixture and gently shake to distribute the crumbs evenly. Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken strips.
5
Using a cooking spray, lightly coat each chicken tender twice to ensure even browning.
6
Place the coated chicken tenders in a preheated oven for an initial 7-minute baking time. Flip the tenders over and continue to bake on the opposite side until they are no longer pink in the centers, approximately 7 minutes more. Remove the tenders from the oven.
7
Position an oven rack about 6 inches away from the heat source and preheat your oven's broiler to an extra-high temperature.
8
Place the chicken tenders under the broiler for a short period, about 1 to 2 minutes more. This step adds an extra layer of crunch to the tenders.
9
Serve the hot chicken tenders immediately and indulge in your delicious creation!
