Now that we’ve teased your appetite, let’s get into the nitty-gritty with the ingredients you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried tarragon)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Alrighty then, let’s get down to the cooking part. Follow these easy steps and you’ll have yourself some finger-licking good chicken tenders:
Instructions:
- First off, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, breadcrumbs, tarragon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Take your chicken tenders and dredge them in flour, making sure to shake off any excess flour. This step is key for that crispy crunch!
- Next, dip each floured tender into the beaten egg, allowing any extra to drip off.
- Now, coat those tenders in the walnut mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure an even coating. Get that crunch, baby!
- Place the coated chicken tenders on your prepared baking sheet, then drizzle or spray the tops with olive oil to help them get golden brown.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the tenders are cooked through and the coating is crispy.
- Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Trust me; the anticipation will make it taste even better!
Serve these bad boys up with your favorite dipping sauce, a side of veggies, or a fresh salad. You won’t regret it! These Walnut-Tarragon Chicken Tenders are sure to impress everyone at the table, so don’t be surprised if they ask for seconds. Happy cooking!
