Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken tenders

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 eggs

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 cup flour

2 tablespoons melted butter (for extra crispiness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.

2. In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Place flour in a separate bowl.

4. Dredge each chicken tender in flour, dip in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

5. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter for added crispiness.

6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve warm with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
