Step 1

Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Step 2

Combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and pressed garlic in a large bowl and place the seasoning chicken inside. When pressing the garlic, I highly recommend using this grater. Its my favorite tool in my kitchen.

Step 3

Toss the chicken around in the marinade. You can begin dredging the chicken tenders right away or let them marinate for a few hours or even overnight for the best flavor.

Step 4

Now make the breading by combining the plain bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Then generously coat the chicken tenders in the breading mixture.

Step 6

Place the breaded chicken on the air fryer basket and lightly spray both sides of the chicken with cooking spray.

Step 7

Bake in the air fryer at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for about 4-5 minutes per side. A good way to know that your chicken is done is by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of the chicken. It should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
