Baked Chicken Tenders

These easy and crunchy Baked Chicken Tenders have become one of our regular rotation dinners. They are kid-friendly and perfect for picky eaters. Crunchy and flavorful, they even make great leftovers. I love them cold with a salad!

I usually make a double batch so we can have extra baked chicken tenders! Serve these with BBQ sauce, ranch or ketchup depending on what your family likes.

With a combination of regular breadcrumbs and panko breadcrumbs, these have a great crunch and are so much quicker and healthier than traditionally breaded and fried chicken tenders.

I usually serve these with a green salad and fresh corn on the cob.
