Parmesan Chicken Tenders

 Ingredients:
* 1 1⁄4 lbs chicken tenders
* Salt and ground black pepper to taste
* 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
* 1 cup panko bread crumbs
* 2⁄3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, Italian seasoning, paprika, and onion powder.
4. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the minced garlic.
5. In a third dish, mix the panko bread crumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
7. Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or honey mustard
