Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs, seasoned or unseasoned
  • Salt and black pepper
Serves 4

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.

Season the chicken tenders with salt and black pepper. Add the flour to a shallow dish, then season the flour with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs in another shallow dish with the milk. Add the breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish.

Take the chicken tenders and dredge them through the flour to coat, shaking off any excess flour. Dip the floured chicken tenders into the egg to completely coat. Finally, coat the chicken tenders with the breadcrumbs.

Wash your hands after handling the raw poultry.

Use tongs to place the breaded chicken tenders onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.

If you're bringing the chicken tenders to school for lunch the next day, let cool, then place in a sealable plastic bag or airtight container and add to your lunchbox.
