Ingredients

cooking spray

1 large egg, beaten

1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken tenders, cut into 1/2-inch strips lengthwise

Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

Step 2 

Place egg in a shallow dish. Place panko, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top freezer bag and mix well.

Step 3 

Dip 2 chicken strips into egg, then place into panko mixture and shake to coat. Place coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 4 

Spray each chicken tender with cooking spray twice.

Step 5 

Bake tenders in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip and continue to bake on opposite side until no longer pink in the centers, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven.

Step 6

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.

Step 7 

Broil tenders in the preheated oven for extra crunch, about 1 to 2 minutes or more.
