Chicken Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breast. Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season the strips with salt and pepper on both sides.
Breading
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, set up the breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated. Lastly, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere well. Place the breaded chicken strips on a plate.
Cooking
Cook the Chicken Tenders
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade chicken tenders!
