Enjoy these crispy and flavorful chicken tenders, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with the buttermilk, ensuring they are fully coated.
Letting the chicken marinate longer enhances its tenderness and flavor.
In a ziploc bag, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper.
Shaking the bag ensures an even mix of the coating ingredients.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, and place it in the ziploc bag. Shake well to coat evenly.
Coating the chicken thoroughly ensures a crispy texture.
Drizzle olive oil onto a baking sheet and arrange the coated chicken pieces on it.
Spacing the chicken pieces apart helps them cook evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken tenders warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a lemon wedge for added flavor and presentation.
