Garlic Caesar Chicken Tenders Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Combine the egg and the lemon juice.
• In a separate bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
• Coat the chicken tenders in flour and shake off any excess. Then dredge in the egg and lemon juice mixture and allow excess egg to drip off. Coat with the panko bread crumb mixture, turning until evenly coated.
• Lay chicken tenders flat on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Spray additional cooking spray over the chicken tenders to help them brown.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes (or until browned and chicken is cooked all the way through), flipping once halfway through.
• Serve with your favorite dip and some veggies for a fun appetizer or with garlic Parmesan roasted vegetables for dinner!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pound out chicken tenders with a meat mallet until very thin. Remove membranes.
• Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes. Combine flour, 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, paprika, granulated onion, and pepper in the first bowl; mix until well combined. Whip eggs and remaining Parmesan cheese together in the second dish. Pour panko bread crumbs into the third dish.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat until oil reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Then dip tenders into egg mixture, and finally into panko bread crumbs, pressing to make sure panko adheres.
• Pan-fry chicken tenders in the hot oil until browned, about 90 seconds on each side. Remove tenders to a lined drip tray to drain excess fat before serving.
