Crispy Chicken Tenders (Rachel Ray)
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
1 1/2 cups flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 cups breadcrumbs, seasoned or unseasoned
Salt and black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Season the chicken tenders with salt and black pepper. In a shallow dish, season the flour with salt and black pepper then beat the eggs in another shallow dish with the milk. In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.

Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour to coat, shaking off any excess flour. Dip the floured chicken tenders into the egg and finally, coat the chicken tenders with the breadcrumbs.

Place the breaded chicken tenders onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. [My notes: Mine needed to bake for 20 minutes.]

[My variations:

- Use a mixture of crushed corn flakes, rice krispies cereal, mashed potato flakes, herbs and spices -- cumin, garlic, onion powder, etc... in place of bread crumbs.
- Marinate tenders in honey mustard dressing with a dash of ground ginger, onion and garlic powder, salt, cayenne and black pepper for several hours prior to baking. Use this dressing to help crumbs adhere, not egg wash.]
