Homemade Chicken Tenders

Tonight's Dinner: Chicken Tenders

Most people buy chicken nuggets and/or chicken tenders from restaurants or at a grocery store in the freezer section. These chicken tenders are usually full of fat and preservatives and may also include meat that is not the best quality. Wouldn't you rather know exactly what is in the chicken nuggets/tenders you are eating? Make them at home with this simple and easy to make recipe that your entire family will enjoy!

Recipe for Two Servings:
  • 2 chicken breasts or a package of chicken tenderloins 
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
  • 1-2 tbsp flour (I use wheat) 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • pinch of pepper 
  • spices to your liking 
  • 2 eggs 
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar for topping 
  1. Combine the Parmesan, flour, salt, pepper and your spices of choice into a shallow dish 
  2. Whip eggs in another shallow dish 
  3. Cut chicken breasts into small slices (about 1/2 in thick) 
  4. Dip pieces of chicken into egg and then into the Parmesan mixture to coat with breading 
  5. Arrange on a greased baking sheet 
  6. Bake at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes, flip chicken tenders over and sprinkle with shredded cheddar and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes 
  7. Remove and cool for 1-2 minutes and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
