What's your favorite comfort food? Mine definitely has to be a big bowl of mac n cheese, however due to my whole trying to be healthy kick, mac n cheese is totally not on my dinner menu. Chicken tenders are probably my second favorite comfort food, and this baked version takes away the guilt that comes along with the fried version. These chicken tenders were super easy to make and were great dipped in some BBQ sauce or ranch dressing. Pair it with some steamed veggies for dinner and you have a pretty healthy but comforting dinner!
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
Kosher salt
Black pepper
2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a cooling rack coated with cooking spray inside a baking sheet and set aside. Season chicken strips with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic and onion powder and set aside. Fill another large bowl with flour and a third bowl with the beaten eggs.
Dredge chicken strips in the flour, dip into the eggs, then into the bread crumb mixture, pressing to coat. Place breaded chicken strips on top of prepared rack. Place into oven and bake for 8 minutes. Flip each strip over and continue baking for 8-10 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.
