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.

PARMESAN PANKO CHICKEN TENDERS 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.

So here's a pan-fried version that's much healthier than drive-through or frozen-food options. Using chicken breast tenders makes these look like fast food, but you'll feel so much better about feeding them to your kids. The crispy, crunchy panko breadcrumbs lend incredible texture. Coat the chicken tenders in flour and shake off any excess. Then dredge in the egg and lemon juice mixture and allow excess egg to drip off.
