Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Pour the olive oil into a shallow bowl or dish and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the grated parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, pepper and garlic salt and stir well to mix the ingredients. This will be the “breading” for the chicken tenders.
  4. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil, then place a wire baking rack on top of the parchment paper/foil. Spray the wire baking rack with non-stick cooking spray.
  5. Line up your dish of olive oil, parmesan mix, and prepared baking sheet. First, dip a chicken tender in the olive oil to lightly coat, shake or wipe off any excess oil, then dredge the chicken in the parmesan mix to evenly coat well, then place the coated chicken tender onto the wire baking rack. Repeat for each chicken tender.
  6. Once the oven is fully preheated, place the chicken on the middle rack and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 17 – 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.*
  7. Once the chicken is completely cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the oven and allow to cool on the rack for 5 minutes.
Recipe Notes

Using the wire baking rack will allow the chicken to be raised so that it is not sitting in it’s own juices while cooking, which will prevent soggy bottom chicken tenders. This method is also healthier since the excess fat and oil is allowed to drip off. The parchment paper or foil will catch the juices and crumbs, so no messy cleanup! You’re welcome!

*The internal temperature of chicken should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
