Cheddar Bacon Chicken Tenders

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Using half of the garlic salt, onion salt, and pepper season the chicken tenders all over.

Step 3

In shallow bowl, beat the egg. Stir together the panko, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and the remaining garlic salt, onion salt, and pepper in another shallow bowl.

Step 4

A dip chicken tender into the egg until coated. Let the excess dip back into the bowl. Then dip the tender into the breadcrumb mixture until it is evenly breaded all over.

Step 5

Place the breaded chicken tenders on the prepared wire rack. Spray the tops of the chicken tenders with a little more cooking spray.

Step 6

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F internal temperature) and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve on a platter with ranch dip or a plate with your favorite sides for dinner.
