Number Of Ingredients 4

1 piece 1 large egg 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or juice of 1/2 a lemon)
1 piece 2 teaspoons minced garlic 3/4 teaspoon salt to season 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 piece 1 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon mild paprika (or sweet, smoky, spicy) 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 package 28 ounces (800 g) chicken tenders

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking tray / sheet with cooking oil spray, or a light coating of oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Dip chicken tenders into egg mixture and let sit for 5 minutes while preparing crumb mixture.
OPTIONAL: Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour (if time allows).*
In another bowl, combine both breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and parmesan cheese.
Dredge the egg coated chicken in the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture, lightly pressing to evenly coat. Arrange tenders on the baking sheet / tray and lightly spray with cooking oil spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until cooked through. (Broil in the last 2-3 minutes for a golden crispy crumb!)
