Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast tenders
- 0.5 cup Plain panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and almond milk until fully combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the coating adhere better.
Step 5
Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated, then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick, then place the coated tender on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Repeat the dipping and coating process with all the chicken tenders, spacing them out evenly on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each tender over and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the coating is golden and crispy.
Step 9
Let the chicken tenders rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
