Instructions
- Beat the egg with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp water in a bowl, in which the chicken will be dipped.
- In a similar bowl, place some breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and thyme and mix well (add Parmesan to this if using).
- Place the chicken on a plate nearby the beaten egg and begin dipping the chicken, one piece at a time into the egg.
- Hold the chicken against the side of the bowl for a second or two to let the excess egg drain.
- Next, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumbs and coat evenly.
- Place on a tray, and repeat until all the chicken is coated.
- Put the light olive oil into a frying pan, preferably non-stick and heat over medium high heat.
- Place some chicken tenders into the pan when hot, and cook until golden brown on each side and cooked thoroughly, adding oil as needed. If in doubt, cut into a thicker piece to make sure it is no longer pink in the center.
- Place on a paper towel lined plate, then place on serving plate or in a bowl.
Notes
- Make these gluten free by using gf bread crumbs and flour mix.
