Parmesan Crusted Chicken Tenders

I couldn’t resist this parmesan crusted chicken recipe that kept popping up on Pinterest. It’s flour and breadcrumb free. You won’t even miss them!
These chicken tenders are crazy good. You don’t even need to be on a low carb plan to love them.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, place a cooling rack in the pan.
In a shallow bowl combine the grated parmesan cheese (not the stuff with the green lid), parsley, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Melt the butter in another shallow dish and start dipping.

Dip each chicken tender in butter then roll in seasoned cheese mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. The butter helps the cheese mixture stick to the chicken.
You can buy chicken breasts and cut your own tenders. If you use chicken cutlets you will need to cut down on the cooking time.

Bake for 20-30 minutes, serve and listen to the praises. An absolutely delicious chicken dinner ready in no time!
You can always serve a marinara sauce on the side for a dipping sauce, but these chicken strips are loaded with flavor without a sauce.

March 8, 2018I just made this for dinner. Very easy and my family liked it. I would make it again with less salt. A tad salty for my taste.

June 24, 2019I have never tried to freeze them. If you do, be sure to “flash freeze” them individually and then store as you wish.
