Chicken Tender Recipe

02/14/17 | Dinner Recipes, Recipes

My husband comes from a big Italian family and every Sunday growing up his paternal grandmother would make a big Sunday dinner.  It was always some sort of pasta–normally Rigatoni’s, a meat sauce and a chicken dish.  When my husband and I started dating we would often go there for dinner and  I always loved when she made Chicken Cutlets.  One day I asked  for the recipe to make them myself, changing it up slightly to make them as chicken tenders.  This is the easy Chicken Tender Recipe that I use and when I make it I know that I will get no complaints and have no leftovers!

These Homemade Chicken Tenders are so easy to make and are ready in no time!

You can even double the recipe and freeze half so that  you have an easy freezer meal too!

Chicken Tender Recipe

  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 eggs beaten well
  • 2 cups Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 lb chicken
  • Oil for frying
  • coarse salt

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Mix Italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese together. Dredge chicken in flour, then coat with egg and add to the bread crumb/cheese mixture.

Heat oil in large pan over med-high heat.  Once hot add chicken to pan and turn frequently until golden brown on all sides and fully cooked inside.

Place cooked chicken on a paper towel lined plate, sprinkle with salt and allow to cool slightly.

While it seems like this recipe has lot of steps it really is supper simple to make and I generally can have it prepped and on the table in around 45 minutes.  Add a vegetable and you have a perfect weeknight meal!  Yum!

Homemade Chicken Tenders Make Dinnertime Easy!

    Mmmm good idea. I haven’t had these in a while! I’m sure my Italian husband will appreciate this: Anything pan-fried and coated with parmesan and bread crumbs.
