Irresistible Lemon Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 46 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken tenders
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Irresistible Lemon Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up in the oven.
3. Make the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
4. Prepare the Lemon Garlic Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
5. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the lemon garlic mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Then, roll them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These steps will help you create these amazing chicken tenders effortlessly!
