![]() The best thing about these chicken tenders is you can cook up a huge batch of them, let cool, and freeze for future lunches and dinners. You need to use some type of oil or spray or the chicken will stick to the pan. You can also use an olive oil spray or whatever oil you want. Then I took each strip, dipped in an egg wash, then in the breadcrumbs, and last laid on a baking sheet liberally coated with cooking spray. Don’t pound them out to thin because they will fall apart when you try to slice them. I was able to get 18 nice strips out of 2 pounds of chicken breast. I pounded the chicken breast out slightly then slice into 3-4 strips depending how big the breast is. The beauty of homemade anything is you control the ingredients. Of course, you can make these even healthier by using homemade breadcrumbs and organic chicken breast. A far cry from the laundry list of ingredients you find on packages of chicken tenders in the freezer aisle. This chicken tender recipe uses 4 ingredients – chicken breast, egg, asiago cheese, and seasoned breadcrumbs. So, I decided to put together a very simple homemade version together of a chicken tender. The only issue is they take a little extra effort to prepare and sometimes I just don’t have the time or energy. ![]() It is actually really good and kids loved them. Anyway, a couple years ago I created my own version of a chicken nugget. Yes I know I am the mom and I know I am the one that tells them what to eat. Nope wanting to consume chicken nuggets is a battle they are willing to fight till the end. Now, just because I could go the rest of my life without ever looking at a mystery meat nugget or finger again does not my kids will. In fact, I like to refer to them as mystery meat because essentially that is what they are. ![]() The problem with this so called kid friendly meal is that most of time the chicken is so processed and fried it barely resembles chicken at all. I am assuming most kids do because chicken tenders (or better know as chicken fingers or nuggets) are on every single kids menu of every single restaurant I have ever dined in.
