Ingredients
1.5
lb
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
cups
grated Cheddar cheese
1/4
tsp
dried parsley
1/4
tsp
dried oregano
1/4
tsp
cracked pepper
1/4
tsp
salt
Instructions
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and saute the garlic until tender.
In a shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, cheeses, and spices/seasonings.
Dip each chicken strip in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture.
To pan fry
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Cook chicken in batches (don’t crowd the skillet!) on both sides until golden brown, and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper if needed.
Devour
To oven bake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
Bake 20-30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink (center should be 165 degrees F)
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.
