Creating an amazing batch of Parmesan Chicken Tenders can be straightforward by following these easy steps:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and set up a breading station.
2. Prepare Flour Mixture: In a shallow dish, add the flour and mix in ¼ teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
3. Beat Eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
4. Combine Breadcrumbs and Cheese: In a third dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and the remaining salt and pepper.
5. Coat Chicken Tenders:
– Dip a chicken tender into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
– Shake off excess flour.
– Next, dip the tender into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
– Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere well.
6. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium heat.
7. Fry the Tenders:
– Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the skillet.
– Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the tenders and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
10. Rest: Allow the tenders to rest for a few minutes before serving.
