Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Coating
  • 1 lb chicken breast tenders
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine panko, parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika in a mixing bowl; drizzle with olive oil and stir until the mixture is crumbly.
  3. Press each chicken tender firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until heavily coated on all sides.
  4. Arrange the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is patted dry before coating to help the breadcrumbs adhere better.
