Buffalo Panko Chicken Strips Ingredients

Chicken tenderloins
1 cup flour
2 eggs
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoons Italian seasonings
1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping

Word of caution: If you’re not sure how much of the buffalo flavor you can handle, just go easy on the sauce. If you like a lot of heat, go heavier on the sauce. It’s easy to adjust to meet your family’s tastes!

How to Make Panko Breaded Chicken Tenders

1. Heat your oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place one cup of flour into a shallow dish or plate.

3. Whisk your eggs in a small bowl.

4. In another shallow dish or plate combine your breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings.

5. Place each chicken tenderloin into your flour, then into your whisked eggs and into your Panko breadcrumb mixture.

6. Place each chicken tenderloin onto your parchment paper and brush with your buffalo sauce.

7. Cook for 25 minutes and then flip the chicken tenders and cook for another 5-8 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

Serve with bleu cheese or ranch dipping sauce and enjoy! (Or if you’re like our family, you have to serve them with a side of both sauces!)

If your kids are chicken fans like mine are, just skip the buffalo sauce on their chicken tenders!

It’s an easy main dish that you can make for the entire family!
