Ingredients

– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Panko for extra crunch)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
Creating Irresistible Lemon Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine the flour with salt and pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and oregano.
3. Coat Chicken: Take a chicken tender and dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat this process for all chicken tenders.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
5. Add Oil: Lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over the chicken tenders to help them crisp up in the oven.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Flip the tenders halfway through for even cooking.
7. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
These straightforward steps will guide you to create mouthwatering chicken tenders effortlessly.
