You can make anything more delicious, even an all-time family favorite with these easy-to-make-easier-to-finish oven-fried chicken tenders. They're the perfect recipe to put together in no time! The not-so-secret secret ingredients for these homemade chicken tenders are panko bread crumbs, Gold Medal™ flour, and yes, a whole lot of love.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup Progresso™ plain or Italian style 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

Make With

Gold Medal Flour

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.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

• tip 1

  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 they're baked.

• tip 2

  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.

• tip 3

  Have fun with 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.

• tip 4

  For extra-crispy tenders, drizzle them with a couple of tablespoons of melted butter before baking.

More About This Recipe

• Panko breadcrumbs are what give these breaded chicken tenders such a light, crunchy coating. The result is more like the kind of chicken tenders you can order at a restaurant. But, unlike restaurant versions, these tenders can boast the better-for-you preparation method of baking, not frying. If you're wondering why panko crumbs are really such a game-changer, taste for yourself and be convinced. Long a staple of Asian cuisine, they've gained newfound popularity in Western dishes as a coating or crunchy topping. Panko crumbs are larger in size and lighter in texture than regular breadcrumbs which makes them perfect for a crispy coating, with no frying necessary.
