Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders Recipe

Everyone loves chicken tenders but no one wants to be the one to stand around frying them! So make garlic parmesan chicken tenders in the oven instead.

Oven baked chicken tenders are on our family menu at least once a month. Just cut chicken strips, coat the chicken and bake all the chicken tenders in one pan.

Step Six:

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through.

Optional: Flip the chicken tenders over halfway through cooking to help brown both sides. If the chicken tenders are sticking, use a thin, metal spatula/turner to flip the chicken tenders (making sure to scrape up the coating along with the chicken).

To brown the chicken tenders a bit more, put them under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders Recipe Tips

1. How can I make these into garlic parmesan chicken nuggets? Cut the chicken breasts into nugget size instead of tenders and then follow the rest of the recipe.

2. Want more garlic? Add a teaspoon of garlic powder to the breadcrumbs mixture.

3. Do you have instructions for frying these chicken tenders? Follow steps 1-5 to cut and coat the chicken. Then, heat two tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook about 6 chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes per side until the fully cooked. Repeat the process with more oil and chicken tenders. Do not overcrowd the chicken in the pan or it won’t be able to get crispy.

4. How can I get my chicken tenders crispier? Try cooking the chicken tenders on a wire baking rack on top of the baking sheet if you are having issues with getting crispy tenders.

5. Any other tips for making the chicken tenders crispier? After cooking them, brown them under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

6. My chicken tenders stuck to the pan. Any tips? Allow them to cool a bit and then use a thin, metal spatula/turner to scrape the chicken tenders along with the breading off the pan.

    OMG! I saw this recipe this morning and I will never, ever fry chicken tenders again. I just made them for supper tonight and they are sooooo good! I have one of those non stick baskets with a pan that sits under it and used it rather than a cookie sheet. They browned all over and were so crispy outside and so tender and juicy inside. And the flavor? Excellent! Fry chicken tenders? Never again!

    I have not tried this recipe yet but I am fixing it tonight. I usually fry chicken tenders and although good, it is messy and I just hate the clean up. From your comments and the photos they look delicious! They are on the menu tonight!
