Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 20

Total Time: 25

Yield: 4 servings

Course: Dinner, Lunch

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

12 chicken tenderloins (1 ¼ lbs total)
1 large eggs (beaten)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I like 4C, or use gluten-free breadcrumbs)
½ cup seasoned panko crumbs (or gluten-free crumbs)
olive oil spray
ketchup or bbq sauce (optional for dipping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil, if desired and spray with oil.
Season chicken with salt. Place egg in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs and panko.
Dip chicken in the egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture and shake off excess and place on a sheet pan. Spray both sides of the chicken generously with oil.
Bake the chicken 18 minutes flipping halfway until cooked through. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

5 tbsp of the breadcrumb mixture gets tossed after coating and has been subtracted from the nutrition info.
