Ingredients
  

For the Coating
  • 1/4 cup Gold Medal All Purpose Flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup Progresso Plain Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the Chicken
  • 1.25 lb chicken breast tenders from two 14-oz packages

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Three shallow bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Place the flour in the first shallow bowl.
  3. In the second shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
  4. In the third shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Take one chicken tender and coat it first in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  6. Dip the floured tender into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
  7. Press the tender into the bread crumb mixture to coat completely.
  8. Place the coated tender on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Repeat this process for all the chicken tenders.
  10. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, turning the tenders over halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crisp.

You can serve these baked tenders with your preferred dipping sauce.
