  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 30 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Gold Medal™ All Purpose Flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup from 1 box (8 oz) Progresso™ Plain Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/4 lb (20 oz) chicken breast tenders (from two 14-oz packages)
  • Favorite dipping sauce, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In shallow dish, place flour. In another shallow dish, beat egg and water. In third shallow dish, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Coat chicken with flour; dip into egg mixture, then coat with bread crumb mixture. Place on cookie sheet.
  • 3
    Bake 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center and coating is golden brown. Serve with dipping sauce.

  • A quick dredging in the flour, then egg before the final panko-Parmesan dip guarantees that the crispy coating will stick to the chicken once it's baked.
  • Get air circulating for crunch—arrange the coated tenders on a wire cooling rack that has been sprayed with cooking spray on a rimmed baking pan. Bake in the hot oven until golden brown.
  • Switch up this recipe for Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders with different dips. Mix a spoonful of basil pesto in a good mayonnaise, some plain Greek yogurt with a lot of chopped fresh dill and lemon zest, ranch dressing with crumbled bacon and lots of freshly ground pepper stirred in—or just straight-up barbecue sauce.
  • For extra-crispy Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders, drizzle them with a couple of tablespoons of melted butter before baking.
  • Try substituting Progresso™ Italian Style Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs for the Progresso™ Plain Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs in this Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders recipe.
