Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and saute the garlic until tender.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, cheeses, and spices/seasonings.
  3. Dip each chicken strip in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture.
To pan fry
  1. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
  2. Cook chicken in batches (don’t crowd the skillet!) on both sides until golden brown, and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F
  3. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Devour
To oven bake
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
  4. Bake 20-30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink (center should be 165 degrees F)
  5. Devour

Notes

  • You can use an egg mixture instead of garlic butter to dip your chicken in before breading. I would add garlic powder to the panko bread crumbs.
