Delicious! I served this for a large family dinner and had MANY compliments, including from young adult males who are very picky eaters. I had several requests to fix this again and I plan to. It was quick and easy.
Parmesan–Panko Chicken Tenders
Photo: Oxmoor House
Most kids are hooked on breaded chicken of some sort. So here's a pan-fried version that's much healthier than drive-through or frozen-food options. Using chicken breast tenders makes these look like fast food, but you'll feel so much better about feeding them to your kids. The crispy, crunchy panko breadcrumbs lend incredible texture.
