PARMESAN PANKO CHICKEN TENDERS. This Crispy Parmesan Panko Chicken Tenders recipe is a real weeknight savior! It's really easy and fast to make, honestly no nees to buy it. I have never been a big fan of chicken nuggets that you buy at the store or order in restaurants.
Instead of breadcrumbs or just flour I use panko. Panko is generally used in Japanese cooking and it can be found in the grocery store in the Asian foods aisle. These oven fried chicken tenders TRULY come out just like they've been fried! You can have PARMESAN PANKO CHICKEN TENDERS using 9 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
