Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 12 tenders
  • 4-5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut, or crushed cornflakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place 4-5 tablespoons unsalted butter on a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven for a few minutes. Remove the baking dish once the butter is melted.
  • In a large zip-top freezer bag, combine the ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons sea salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add the 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 12 tenders and shake well to coat, pressing through the bag. Set aside.
  • In a shallow bowl, add the 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons milk, whisk well and set aside. In another shallow bowl, combine the 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
  • Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture then coat well in the panko mixture, pressing down to be sure the panko mixture sticks.
  • Place the chicken onto the baking tray, and bake for 12 minutes, using tongs, carefully flip the chicken. Bake for another 6-8 minutes (depending on how thick your chicken pieces are). Finish by broiling for 1-2 minutes, or until chicken turns golden and crispy.
  • Remove chicken and pat with paper towels. Enjoy immediately served with your favorite dipping sauce.
