Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring they're well coated. Cover the bowl or transfer to a zip-top bag, and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Create a breading station by arranging three shallow dishes: one for breadcrumbs, one for beaten eggs, and one empty.
- Dip each marinated tender into the beaten egg, then transfer to the breadcrumbs, pressing to coat evenly.
- Arrange the breaded chicken tenders on a lined baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are spread apart.
- Drizzle the chicken tenders lightly with olive oil for a golden-brown finish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let them cool slightly, then serve warm with a dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
