If you love fried chicken but don’t want the grease, then try baked chicken tenders. Baked chicken tenders are a huge hit with kids and adults of all ages! Baking the chicken instead of frying is just as tasty, healthier and easier to clean up! To simplify the process I used an egg wash mixture to coat the chicken and then Panko bread crumbs which are healthier than the regular store bought bread crumbs. This is a great weeknight dinner with sweet potato fries and a salad. Enjoy!
