Everything Bagel Baked Chicken Tenders
Everything Bagel Baked Chicken Tenders are coated with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and the popular Everything But The Bagel seasoning, baked for a crispy exterior without frying. The chicken tenders are dipped in beaten egg to help the coating adhere, then baked at 400°F, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. This method results in tender, flavorful chicken paired well with dips like ranch or blue cheese.
Ingredients
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning
- 1 egg large
- 1 to 1.25 pounds chicken tenders boneless skinless
- ranch dressing blue cheese dressing, ketchup, etc. for serving if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup; set aside.
- To a large ziptop storage bag add the panko, everything bagel seasoning, and stir to combine; set bag aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the egg, lightly beat it with a fork, add the chicken, and toss and flip chicken with the fork so all pieces are coated evenly.
- Remove chicken from the bowl using the fork (discard excess egg), drop it into the plastic bag, seal bag, and toss and shake bag to evenly coat the chicken.
- Place chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced. If there is excess panko in the bag, use your fingers to push it onto the chicken in sparsely coated areas.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, flip midway through to ensure even cooking. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or dressig if desired. Chicken will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months, noting that reheated chicken will not retain it’s crispiness.
