Why get take out when you can make a much better (and healthier!) version at home? These Homemade Baked Chicken Tenders make a fantastic easy weeknight dinner!
2-3large eggsbeaten (start with two and beat a third if needed)
1 ¼cuppanko bread crumbs
1teaspoonseasoning salt
2Tablespoonsranch seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan. Top it with a baking rack if you have one and spray the baking rack (or pan) with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and cut into equal size slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
In 3 shallow bowls, place the following: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second and in the third stir together the panko bread crumbs, seasoned salt and ranch seasoning until fully combined.
Dredge each chicken piece in flour and tap off the excess.
Then submerge each chicken piece in the egg making sure it's fully covered before gently tapping of the excess.
Finally, cover each chicken piece in the panko mixture. Once fully covered carefully tap off the excess and place onto the baking rack or pan so they're not touching.
Bake for 15 minutes and then turn the oven onto broil couple of minutes to brown (watch them carefully- you want them to brown, not burn). If not using a baking rack, flip the chicken tenders midway through the cooking time. Serve immediately with your dipping sauce of choice.
