Easy Parmesan Chicken Tenderloins

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken tenderloins with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Step 3

Mix the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese together in a bowl. Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture first, letting the excess drip off and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken. Place on a baking sheet that’s been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and repeat with the remaining chicken tenderloins.

Step 4

Spray the tops of the breaded chicken with an olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray and bake for 8 minutes and then turn the chicken over and bake for another 5.

Step 5

Remove the tenderloins from the oven and spoon some of the sauce over each piece. Add a half of a mozzarella cheese slice to each tenderloin and return to the oven for another 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 6

Sprinkle the tops of the chicken with fresh or dried parsley and serve.
