Pesto Baked Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons pesto
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Combine the pesto and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl using a whisk, stirring until well incorporated.
3
Coat each chicken tender evenly on both sides with the pesto and mayonnaise mixture, followed by a layer of bread crumbs.
4
Arrange the breaded chicken tenders in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap.
5
Bake the chicken tenders in the preheated oven for an initial 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
6
Continue baking the chicken tenders until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices flow freely, requiring an additional 15 minutes.
7
Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken, aiming for at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the center.
