Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680 g) chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup (100 g) plain breadcrumbs or panko
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp (5 g) garlic powder
  • 1 tsp (5 g) onion powder
  • 1 tsp (5 g) paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil (plus more for greasing the baking sheet)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
  3. In the first bowl, add the eggs and whisk until combined. In the second bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Transfer to the breadcrumb mixture and press to adhere. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle the coated tenderloins with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
