Ingredients used

1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp black pepper

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the olive oil. Dip each chicken breast piece into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
