GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN TENDERS

The “special ingredient” in these tenders is the Panko. Instead of breadcrumbs or just flour I use panko. Panko is generally used in Japanese cooking and it can be found in the grocery store in the Asian foods aisle. I definitely prefer panko to regular breadcrumbs because of its lighter and more delicate texture. It results in a more crispy and crunchy end product than breadcrumbs. Especially when you are baking chicken instead of frying; the panko makes a huge difference!

Delicious chicken tenders breaded in a garlic parmesan panko mixture and baked to crispy perfection!  This is a meal the entire family will love!
