Ingredients
- 12 chicken tenderloins (1 ¼ lbs total)
- 1 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I like 4C, or use gluten-free breadcrumbs)
- ½ cup seasoned panko crumbs (or gluten-free crumbs)
- Olive oil spray
- ketchup or bbq sauce (optional for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil, if desired and spray with oil.
- Season chicken with salt. Place egg in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs and panko.
- 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. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- 5 tbsp of the breadcrumb mixture gets tossed after coating and has been subtracted from the nutrition info.
