Chicken Tenders

Chicken Tenders

Chicken Tenders Recipe
These are delicious as a main course meal or appetizers! A fresh salad or your favorite steamed veggies with a loaf of French or Italian bread are great along with the chicken.

Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in strips - rinsed and patted dry with paper towel
  • 1 (8-ounce) container plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups finely ground plain or seasoned bread crumbs
  • Note: I have also used finely ground Corn Flakes to coat the chicken tenders.
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin (the measurements are up to you)
  • 1/3 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese mixed with the bread crumbs is optional
  • Olive oil or spray pan coating

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Mix yogurt and mayonnaise together.
  3. Pour mixture into a shallow dish or on a plate.
  4. Pour bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin into a separate shallow dish or plate.
  5. Dredge chicken through yogurt and mayonnaise mixture.
  6. Shake off excess, place in crumbs and seasoning mix and coat all over.
  7. Gently shake off excess crumbs.
  8. Spray a large non-stick pan with olive oil or spray pan coating.
  9. Place tenders on the pan and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  10. Turn tenders over and bake another 12-15 minutes, or until tenders are crisp and cooked through.
