Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders

These Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders are made extra crispy with panko breadcrumbs and garlic butter.  Crazy delicious, juicy and easy chicken dinner that’s baked not fried. 

Ingredients:

4 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts (or 12 chicken tenderloins)

 1 Cup panko bread crumbs

 1 Cup Italian bread crumbs

 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

GARLIC BUTTER:

 1/2 cup butter, softened

 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or garlic powder)

 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions:

To make garlic butter: Combine butter, cheese and seasonings in a small bowl, mix until well blended and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375° F and line a large baking sheet with tin foil and give it a good coat of no-stick spray.
Mix bread crumbs and salt in shallow bowl or plate, and set aside.
Cut chicken breasts into tenderloin strips (I often buy chicken tenderloins already cut), pat dry.
Spread garlic butter on both sides of chicken tenderloins.
Coat chicken by pressing each side into bread crumbs and place on foil-lined pan.
Spray the top of the chicken tenderloins with no-stick spray (this helps it to brown)
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then turn oven to broil and continue baking for 5-8 minutes or until coating is a light brown.
Enjoy!
