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:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle the coated tenderloins with olive oil for extra crispiness.
- 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).
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
