Ingredients
4
cups
plain panko breadcrumbs
¼
cup
coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
¼
cup
Parmesan cheese
4
large
eggs
3
pounds
chicken tenders
2 small packages
½
cup
all-purpose flour
or gluten free choice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Toss the panko and oil on a baking sheet with a rim.
Bake for about 5 - 10 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until it is a deep golden brown.
Let cool completely. Crush the panko a little by squeezing handfuls. This will help the crumbs stick better to the chicken.
Add the Parmesan cheese to the panko and mix well.
Place the flour in a zip lock or grocery bag and add the chicken to it and shake, shake, shake to coat well.
Whisk eggs in a bowl.
Dip chicken pieces in the egg, then coat with the panko, pressing to adhere.
Place the chicken on a wire rack that is placed on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake at 425 degrees. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through.
