Enjoy these flavorful and crispy herb-crusted chicken tenders, perfect for a family meal or a quick snack.
Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with parsley, thyme, and lemon zest.
Mix the herbs and zest thoroughly into the breadcrumbs for even flavor distribution.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then cut them into strips.
Cut the chicken into even-sized strips for uniform cooking.
Coat each chicken strip in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Pat the chicken gently with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the chicken tenders warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch.
