Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders is a delightful dish that combines the intense garlic aroma with the rich taste of Parmesan cheese. It's not only easy to make but also uniquely flavored, making it perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken tenders in a bowl, add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Mix well and let marinate for 20 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Coating: Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.

  3. Coat the Chicken: Dip the marinated chicken tenders into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  4. Pan-Fry: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken tenders and cook until golden brown on both sides.

  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pan-fried chicken tenders on a baking sheet, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  6. Serve: Remove the baked chicken tenders and serve.

👉🏻✨TIPS

  • When marinating the chicken, you can increase the amount of herbs to enhance the flavor.

  • When pan-frying the chicken, avoid using too high heat to prevent the outside from burning while the inside remains raw.

  • The baking time can be adjusted according to personal preference. For a crispier texture, slightly extend the baking time.
