Homemade Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders

We are a huge fan of chicken tenders and breaded chicken for our family. The “special ingredient” in these tenders is the Panko. Instead of breadcrumbs or just flour I use panko. Panko is generally used in Japanese cooking and it can be found in the grocery store in the Asian foods aisle. I definitely prefer panko to regular breadcrumbs because of its lighter and more delicate texture. It results in a more crispy and crunchy end product than breadcrumbs. Especially when you are baking chicken instead of frying; the panko makes a huge difference! To try our absolute FAVORITE dipping sauce for these tenders, click here to check that out! 🙂

Chicken Tenders Ingredients:

Chicken Tenders: Boneless chicken breasts are easiest to trim and prepare. White Flour: This coasts the chicken. Salt and Pepper: Seasoning and for taste Olive Oil: Creates a crispy outside when baked. Garlic: Minced garlic is best and adds flavor. Basil: Dried basil brings a subtle seasoning everyone loves. Paprika: If you love a little spice add this to your tenders. Panko: Gives it the breaded thickness and crunch on the outside. Parmesan Cheese: MMM! Cheese is the best on these chicken tenders.  Fry Sauce: My famous fry sauce is delicious and dip-able. SO good!

How to Make Chicken Tenders:

Dipping Sauces:

We love to dip our chicken tenders into every type of sauce. I personally love rich and creamy sauces where my kids love the sweet and spicy sauces. It is so fun to mix and match sauces too and create new favorites. I found this seasoned honey mustard sauce in the photos at our local grocery store near the deli section. So fun! Here are a few of our favorites to eat with these chicken tenders.

Ketchup: Always a classic Honey Mustard: A little sweet and tangy Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce: A hint of spice but rich and smooth. Fry Sauce: Family favorite and a MUST make Ranch Dressing: Creamy and a kid favorite

How to Store:

These are perfect for storing and last in the refrigerator or freezer for a good amount of time. Then when ready simply reheat for lunch or snacks when needed.

Refrigerator: Once they are cooled completely, place in a ziplock bag and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days long. It is best to warm up in the oven but the microwave will do too. Freeze: After they are cooled place on a sheet pan in a freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes. Once frozen, place in a ziplock bag or freezer bag and store in the freezer for 3 months.
