Preparation

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the chicken tenders evenly and crisply.
• Pat the chicken breast strips dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating adhere better and prevents sogginess.
• Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a breadcrumb mixture combined with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
• Coat each chicken strip first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs ensuring a full coat, and finally press it into the seasoned breadcrumb mixture to cover completely.
• Place the coated chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking, and drizzle or lightly brush olive oil over the tenders.
• Bake the chicken tenders in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking.
• Remove the chicken tenders from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
