Baked Panko Crusted Chicken Tenders Recipes

CRISPY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
• Spread panko on a baking tray, spray with oil (spray vertically to avoid blowing the panko off the tray), then bake for 3 to 5 minutes until light golden. Transfer to bowl.
• Place a rack on a baking tray (not critical but bakes more evenly).
• Place the Batter ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork until combined.
• Add the chicken into the Batter and toss to coat.

EASY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Place egg in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top freezer bag and mix well. Dip 2 chicken strips into egg and then place into bread crumb mixture and shake to coat. Place coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Spray each chicken tender with cooking spray 2 times.
• Bake tenders in the preheated oven for 7 minutes; flip, continue to bake on opposite side until no longer pink in the centers, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Broil tenders in the preheated oven for extra crunch, about 2 minutes more.

BAKED PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
• In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
• Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.

PANKO-CRUSTED BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Place wire rack on baking sheet. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In shallow dish, whisk the eggs well. Place the Panko bread crumbs on a piece of wax paper or plate.
• Line up you work station with the egg dish first, the bread crumbs second and the wire rack/baking sheet third.
• Season all of the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Then, moving from left to right, dip a chicken tender into the eggs. Next, roll in the Panko, gently pressing crumbs onto chicken. Place in single layer on wire rack.
• Mist all of the chicken tenders with the olive oil baking spray. Place wire rack on baking sheet in oven.
• Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve warm.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS (PANKO)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F, with rack on lower middle position. Line a large baking sheet with foil and generously grease the foil. Add panko breadcrumbs in a single layer on greased foil; spray oil over the top of the panko. Brown panko for 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Toasting the panko is the secret to the crunch. Let cool while you continue with recipe.
• Meanwhile, increase oven temp to 450F, keeping rack on lower middle position. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry chicken tenderloins. Set chicken aside. In a shallow pan (I use pie pans) combine toasted panko with oregano, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir to combine well. In a separate shallow pan, combine the egg with 1 TB water, whisking to incorporate.
• Replace the foil on large baking sheet and place a wire rack over it. Generously grease the rack. Dip a chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture, coating well and letting excess drip off. Coat generously with panko mixture. Place on greased wire rack. Repeat with remaining chicken tenderloins, leaving at least an inch of space between each one on the rack.
• Spray tops of chicken tenders with oil. Bake 11-13 minutes or until chicken genders are just cooked and the coating is nicely browned (actual bake time depends on thickness of chicken and your oven.) Serve immediately while fresh from the oven, with dipping sauces of your choice.

PARMESAN & PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine panko crumbs, seasonings, and parmesan cheese in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl add mayonaise.
• Spread mayonaise on chicken then dredge chicken in crumb mixture
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray
• Bake at 450º F for 20 mins or until thoroughly cooked.

PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Put the flour in one shallow pie plate or baking dish, the egg mixture in another, and the panko in another.
• One at a time, dredge the chicken tenders in flour to coat them lightly but evenly. Tap to release excess flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally in the panko, turning and rolling the tenders to coat evenly. This will not be messy if you use tongs, or use one hand for dipping into the dry ingredients and the other for dipping into the egg. Make sure the tenders are evenly coated. Shake off the excess crumbs. Place on a baking sheet, and chill uncovered for 15 minutes or up to a day.
• Heat a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil. When it is rippling hot, add the breaded tenders. Turn the heat down to medium, and cook for four to five minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp. Cook in batches, if necessary, so that you don't crowd the pan. Watch carefully; the panko should not blacken, but the chicken tenders should be dark brown on each side. Remove from the heat and serve.
• Advance preparation: The chicken can be breaded up to a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator.
