Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders (about 18)
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
fresh ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups parmesan cheese, freshly grated
3/4 cup Italian style breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Brush 1 tablespoon of oil over each of 2 heavy large lined baking sheets. Place the buttermilk in a large bowl. Add the chicken tenders and stir to coat. Let stand at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mash the garlic with the salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the vinegar and then the remaining 1/2 cup of oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with pepper. Transfer the vinaigrette to a small serving bowl.
  • Stir the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a pie dish. Remove the chicken tenders from the buttermilk and dredge them in the bread crumb mixture to coat completely, pressing to adhere. Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over the chicken tenders and bake until they are cooked through and golden brown, about 14-18 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken tenders to a platter and serve the vinaigrette alongside for dipping.
