No really...they are healthy! I made these last week and the kiddos gobbled them up like they were from McDonald's!

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

Chicken tenderloins
All-purpose flour (about 1/2 a cup)
2 eggs
breadcrumbs (I used Panko-style for crispiness)
herbs/spices (optional, but yummy--try Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, Cajun spices, or whatever your imagination thinks up!)
cooking spray (I use Olive Oil Pam)

Pre-heat oven to 375.

Rinse the chicken tenders under warm water. Place flour on a plate or in a large Zip-loc bag. Whisk the eggs on a large plate. Place breadcrumbs and d on a separate plate (yes, this is plate intensive!). Spray a cookie sheet liberally with cooking spray.

For each tenderloin: dredge in flour, dunk in egg, coat with breadcrumb mixture, place on cookie sheet.

When all tenderloins are on the cookie sheet, spray them with the cooking spray (this helps them crisp up nicely!). Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until done.

Yum!!
