Panko Chicken Tenders

I have two children that are busier than I am...Go figure. When they get home from school they want something fast yet delicious. These tenders are just that. I make these ahead of time and freeze them.

When I need them,  I heat the oil, pull the tenders out of the freezer, cook...no problem. * just remember cooking frozen foods need longer cooking time. Make sure your chicken is cooked 165 internal temperature. 

Serve them with ketchup, sauce or slice and serve on a salad. Couldn't be easier. 

Ingredients:

4 Chicken breast, cleaned and cut into 3 strips each. 

1 1/2 cups Flour

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

1 tsp. Paprika

1/3 tsp. Cayenne 

S/P TT

2 Eggs

1/3 cup Heavy Cream or milk 

2 cups Panko

Cut chicken strips and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 

In order you will first; 

1. Coat the tenders in flour.

2. Dip in heavy cream and eggs. 

3. Coat with Panko. 

Lay the tenders on a tray in single layer. Cover with plastic wrap and in the cooler for 30 minutes, or when ready to use. 

You can freeze tenders at this (if you like).

Drop tenders one at a time in 350 degrees oil. 

They will start to float when they start to cook. 3-5 minutes. Flip if you need to. 

Remove from oil and drain on rack. 

Serve as desired, enjoy with a smile.
