Homemade Chicken Tenders are a classic American favorite, featuring tender strips of chicken breast coated in a crispy breading. Typically seasoned with a blend of spices and herbs, then baked or fried to golden perfection, these tenders are a versatile dish loved by all ages. The breading is often made from breadcrumbs or panko, and eggs are used to help it stick to the chicken. While frying adds a delicious crunch, baking offers a healthier alternative by reducing fat content. Rich in protein from the chicken breast, homemade tenders can be part of a balanced meal when paired with fresh vegetables or whole-grain sides. However, their calorie count can rise depending on the method of preparation, oil used, or dipping sauces paired with them. This dish is a comforting, wholesome take on fast-food favorites, providing a great opportunity to control ingredients for a fresher, healthier option.
