Description
Oven-baked chicken tenderloins that are juicy on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside, offering a healthier alternative to traditional frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or panko breadcrumbs)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare your chicken tenderloins by patting them dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, toss the tenderloins with olive oil until coated.
- Place breadcrumbs in another bowl; then add the chicken tenderloins, ensuring they adhere to the breadcrumb coating.
- Arrange the coated tenderloins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Notes
Consider seasoning your breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning for added flavor. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to maintain crispiness.
