Ingredients:
– 1 lb chicken tenders
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– Cooking spray

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure that your chicken strips cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
2. In three separate shallow bowls, prepare your breading station. In one bowl, place the flour mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well-combined. In the third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Take a chicken tender and dredge it first in the seasoned flour, making sure it’s evenly coated.
4. Dip the chicken tender into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Finally, coat the chicken tender in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken.
6. Place the breaded chicken strip on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the breading process with the remaining chicken tenders.
7. Once all the chicken strips are breaded and arranged on the baking sheet, lightly spray them with cooking spray. This will help them turn golden and crispy while baking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the panko coating is golden brown and crisp.
9. Serve the Chicken Strips Panko hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing. Enjoy the crispy, satisfying goodness!
