Breaded Chicken Tenders are a popular comfort food originating from American cuisine. These strips of chicken breast are lightly seasoned, coated in a crispy breadcrumb mixture, and deep-fried or baked to golden perfection. Typically made with boneless, skinless chicken, they provide a good source of protein, which supports muscle growth and repair. However, their nutritional content can vary depending on the preparation method. Baking offers a lower-fat option compared to frying, which adds significant calories and saturated fats. The breading may include refined flour, contributing to carbohydrates but offering minimal fiber. Some recipes incorporate herbs and spices for added flavor without extra calories. While delicious and convenient, moderation is key as their sodium content can be high depending on seasoning and batter. Pairing them with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables or whole grains can help balance the meal.
