This Crispy Parmesan Panko Chicken Tenders recipe is a real weeknight savior! It can be made in about 25 minutes and are a sure bet with kids. It’s really easy and fast to make, honestly no nees to buy it. I have never been a big fan of chicken nuggets that you buy at the store or order in restaurants. Even when I was a kid I thought the meat looked funny, greasy, chewy, and I was always afraid I woul bite into something weird!!! Let me tell you there is no comparison between that and these panko crusted chicken tenders. Well, I can stand here and pretend that I make them just for my daughter Chloé but I have to admit it, I love these as much as she does! The mix of parmesan and panko for the crust really makes them special and gives them a real crunch. I like to serve them with a simple honey Dijon dipping sauce.
It also makes a great lunch the next day: you can make a tortilla wrap sandwich or even better, cut them into bite sized pieces and add them to a salad. No need to ever buy chicken tenders again!!!
