Chicken Parmesan Chicken Tenders

  • Save

Crispy panko and parmesan crusted chicken tender served with a quick crushed basil and garlic marinara.

When I was thinking of the perfect dinner for my two year old Valentine chicken tenders came to mind. Everyone loves them, they are simple and easy and who doesn’t like a wide variety of dips you can potentially dunk them in.

Chicken tenders are a classic. You can bread them in anything from chips to crackers. Spice or sweeten them from sticky sauces to cool rubs. The same can be said for the dips the possibilities are endless. You can pair them and make them your own.

The fun about chicken tenders is they aren’t too serious so have fun with it! Try this recipe out and let me know what you think.
