Servings:

These baked chicken tenders have a deliciously crispy panko bread crumb coating for that extra crunch factor without the guilt of frying! You can marinate the tenders in light buttermilk in the refrigerator for 1 hour instead of dipping in the beaten egg.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. 3 Place egg in a shallow dish. Place panko, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top freezer bag and mix well.
  4. 4 Dip 2 chicken strips into egg, then place into panko mixture and shake to coat. Place coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  5. 5 Spray each chicken tender with cooking spray twice.
  6. 6 Bake tenders in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip and continue to bake on opposite side until no longer pink in the centers, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven.
  7. 7 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  8. 8 Broil tenders in the preheated oven for extra crunch, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  9. 9 Serve hot and enjoy!
