Servings 3 servings

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Aluminum Foil
  • large zip-top bag
  • Medium Bowl
  • Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Everything But The Bagel sesame seasoning
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenders
  • ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or ketchup for serving if desired

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.
  • In a large zip-top bag combine the panko and Everything But The Bagel seasoning; shake or stir to mix evenly.
  • In a medium bowl lightly beat the egg with a fork. Add the chicken tenders and toss with the fork until all pieces are coated in egg.
  • Lift the chicken from the bowl with the fork, letting excess egg drip back into the bowl, then place the chicken pieces into the bag with the panko mixture. Seal the bag and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, pressing any loose panko onto sparsely coated areas.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping the tenders halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden.
  • Serve immediately with ranch, blue cheese, ketchup, or your preferred dip.

Notes

  • Use a zip-top bag for easy, even coating.
  • Press extra panko onto thin spots for full coverage.
  • Cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve immediately for best crispiness.
