Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. of chicken breasts sliced into tenders or use pre-packaged tenders
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, regular or gluten-free
- 1 cup grated or shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme and oregano, finely chopped
- salt and pepper as desired
- 1/4 cup flour, regular or gluten-free
- 2 large eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. You will need a large saute pan to brown the tenders. You will need three medium shallow bowls to dredge the chicken tenders.
- In the first bowl, add the 1/4 cup of flour. In the 2nd bowl, beat the eggs with the water. In the 3rd bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
- Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper as desired. In batches, dredging 3 tenders at a time, coat completely in the flour(shaking off any excess). Then transfer the tenders to the egg mixture and completely coat. Shake off extra egg mixture . Then add to the breadcrumb mixture and completely coat the tenders.
- Warm the olive oil in the saute pan to medium-high and add up to 6 coated chicken tenders at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan. Saute 4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
- When all batches of tenders have been browned and transferred to baking sheet, put in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes or until cooked through when a thermometer reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with Tangy Tomato Barbecue Sauce.
