If you need a family-friendly weeknight dish, you’ll love these baked Chicken Tenders Parmesan. My family loved it!

Chicken Tenders Parmesan

chicken tenders (1 1/4 lbs)

eggs (beaten)

salt

breadcrumbs (1/2 gets tossed)

olive oil spray

marinara sauce

mozzarella

Parmesan cheese

basil leaves (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spray.

Season chicken with salt. Place egg in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Dip chicken in the egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture and shake off excess and place on a sheet pan.

Spray both sides of the chicken generously with oil.

Bake the chicken 18 minutes flipping halfway until cooked through. It’s ok if it’s not crispy, it’s going to get covered in marinara anyway.

Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking pan, arrange the chicken strips. Spread the marinara sauce over the chicken and top with the mozzarella and Parmesan.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until marinara is hot and the cheese is melted. Top with basil.

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Egg white

Garlic powder is ground, dehydrated garlic. It is a very common seasoning. Applications include pasta, pizza, and grilled chicken. Garlic salt is simply salt plus garlic powder. (Pre-made products usually include an anti-caking agent.) Garlic powder is a common component of spice mix. It is also a common component of seasoned salt.

Combine BBQ sauce in a small bowl with 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of water, to thin down.

Season chicken with salt, garlic powder and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

Combine egg and egg white in a medium bowl. In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, panko and cayenne pepper.

Dip chicken in the egg wash, then into the breadcrumb mixture and shake off excess and place on a large dish or cutting board. Spray both sides of the chicken generously with oil.

In batches, cook the chicken 400F 5 to 6 minutes on each side, turning halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy and golden on the outside. Brush or drizzle chicken with sauce until fully coated. Serve right away.

Fantastic and easy. Decided to just dunk chicken  in watered down bbq sauce instead of brushing on.

These were very easy and tasty! I mixed a little buffalo sauce in with the BBQ sauce and brushed it on for the last couple minutes of cooking to get nice and sticky.  I am loving my new air fryer I got for Christmas!  I used to have the oven-style and this one is the basket style.  Way better.

Great recipe!! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. I loved the extra spices and seasonings. I’ll definitely make again.

Delicious and simple! I used a no sugar added sweet &amp; spicy bbq. Served alongside garlicky green beans.  A hit!

Delicious! Easy to make and minimal ingredients. Definitely a keeper! Entire family loved them. I think I’ll experiment with different sauces just for fun.

Loved these! Made them into chicken sandwiches for lunch the next day and they were just as good as the night before. New regular recipe for sure!

Yum! Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. Thank you Gina for another tasty and easy healthy recipe!

Delicious! This was super easy, even using the homemade Kansas City BBQ sauce

This recipe was so easy to make! The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. Even my picky kids loved it. My husband liked it too. I'll definitely add this to the dinner rotation!

This recipe is so good I made 2 times in one week!  My daughter kept asking me to make them again!! Amazing and super easy!

My entire fam loved these!!! Another fabulous Skinny Taste recipe!!!

These easy to make chicken tenders are always a family hit! Miniature pieces of cheesy chicken parmesan that you can serve with pasta or a salad!

Easy Parmesan Chicken Tenderloins

chicken tenderloins

Salt, pepper and garlic powder (for seasoning the chicken)

egg, milk

parmesan cheese

marinara sauce (plus extra for serving)

mozzarella cheese,

parsley

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

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&#8217;s been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and repeat with the remaining chicken tenderloins.

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.

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.

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

Made these for our grandkids and they loved them - and so did we! We served them with spaghetti on the side, dinner was a hit!

I may be responding 4 years after your post, but I made it tonight! It was perfect! Seasoning the chicken before coating, adding parm to panko, AND the fresh mozzarella was where I have went wrong! That made such a difference. 
I don’t have the time to make my own sauce, but my new found jar love is the Rao’s!
Thank you for sharing your recipe!😍

Made this for the first time tonight! The chicken was moist and delicious. It wasn’t as crispy as I would have liked but was a great midweek dinner! Thanks

Thank you! Found some parm and these were AMAZING! 9 year old said “best meal I’ve ever had!” Thanks again!

These are delicious, and so easy to make..,,

Just made them tonight.  My son is on the keto diet so instead of bread crumbs I got pork rinds and grinder them up.   It was delicious

I put mine on a rack before cooking. Sprayed the top then sprayed again when I flipped them. Also added some Cajun seasoning to the breading for extra flavor.

My husband said this can be on the menu every week. Great recipe! Thank you!

D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!!!!  so quick and couldn't have been easier!! thanks for the recipe!

This is really good! It comes out really crispy and is very easy to make. I added chopped fresh herbs to the the top of the cutlets after they were breaded, before they got popped into the oven for the first bake.

Made this for dinner. It was delicious! Everyone loved it. I used parchment paper on the sheet pan and floured the chicken before dipping in the egg. Had no problem with the coating coming off. Thank you, this is a keeper!

My breadcrumbs didn’t brown. I forgot to spray oil, maybe that was it? Chicken was fully cooked and they still tasted great!

Can I fry them like regular chicken cutlets to get crispy and then bake with sauce and cheese?

Cooked it for dinner. Turned out really good! But would definitely add some minutes if you want the cheese to melt and the chicken to be nice and crispy!
