Chicken tenders are popular with all ages, from toddlers to elders. And it makes sense — they’re a great finger food option that offers all the great flavour and taste of a crumbed chicken filet with none of the commitment to a main course.

Check out this great recipe that skips the frying and lets you stay hands-off the cooking process!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 450g chicken tenderloins
  • Olive or canola oil spray

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius and spray a baking sheet with olive or canola oil spray.
  2. Whisk the bread crumbs, salt, paprika, garlic powder and flour in a shallow bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water.
  4. Coat the chicken tenders in the egg mixture and then transfer them to the breadcrumb mixture. Press down with the heel of your hand to adhere the breadcrumbs to the tenders.
  5. Place the tenders on the baking sheet and lightly and evenly coat the tops of each tender with spray.
  6. Bake the tenders for 5 minutes and remove them from the oven. Turn the tenderloins over, spray them lightly and evenly again with olive or canola oil spray, and bake for 5 minutes more, or until cooked through.
