# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken
01 - 1 lb chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
→ Breading
02 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
03 - 1/2 cup regular breadcrumbs
04 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1 tsp paprika
06 - 1 tsp garlic powder
07 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
08 - 1/2 tsp salt
09 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
→ Wet Mixture
10 - 2 large eggs
11 - 2 tbsp milk
→ For Baking
12 - Cooking spray or 2 tbsp olive oil
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray or olive oil.
02 - In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
03 - In a separate shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Pat chicken strips dry with paper towels. Dip each strip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then press gently into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
05 - Place coated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. For extra crispiness, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
07 - Allow the chicken tenders to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
