Ingredients for Homemade Chicken Tenders

Homemade chicken tenders are so easy to make and loved by kids and adults alike! Skip the frying because these oven-baked tenders have fewer calories with all of the crunch!

Chicken – Buy chicken tenderloins or slice boneless skinless chicken breasts into ¾-inch slices.

Breading – A combination of cornflakes and panko breadcrumbs add a deep-fried crunch to these chicken tenders without the mess! Replace the cornflakes with crushed crackers (like Ritz or saltines) or double up on the Panko.

Variations—Play with the seasonings to change the flavor of these chicken strips. Try taco seasoning or a cajun seasoning.

How to Make Chicken Tenders
1. Prep chicken (if using breasts) as directed in the recipe below. PRO TIP: Freeze chicken breasts for about 20 minutes for easier slicing.
2. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour then in egg, and finally into the panko mixture.
3. Bake breaded tenders on a parchment-lined pan sprayed with pan release until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Serving and Storing

Serve these chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauces. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in an air fryer or in the oven for the best crunch.

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

If using whole breasts, cut the ¾-inch strips. Season the strips or tenderloins with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

In a bowl, combine flour and seasoned salt. In a second bowl, whisk eggs with water.

In a third shallow dish, combine cornflake crumbs, panko bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt & pepper to taste.

Dip the chicken in flour, shaking of any excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture gently pressing to adhere.

Place the chicken on the prepared pan and generously spray with cooking spray or oil.

Bake for 18-22 minutes or until cooked through.

If using whole chicken breasts, freeze for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
No Cornflakes? No Problem! If you do not have cornflake crumbs, you can use cracker crumbs or extra panko.
Convection Oven: Reduce time to 15-18 minutes if using convection. Ensure the chicken reaches 165°F.
Air Fryer Directions: Place chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. The second batch may need a minute or two less as the air fryer will be preheated.

7 Cereals Can No Longer Claim ‘Healthy’ Label Under FDA Rule
[ad_1]
Oct. 13, 2022 — Generations of Americans grew up being told that breakfast cereals like Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran were healthy ways to start their days.

But now, under new federal guidelines, those cereals and other mainstays of the breakfast table can no longer make that claim.

The guidance was proposed after the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, “as well as the release of the related national strategy, which aims to end hunger, improve nutrition and physical activity, reduce diet-related diseases and close disparity gaps by 2030,” the FDA wrote in a press release.

To be considered “healthy,” foods must meet certain criteria. The FDA used cereal as an example to illustrate how the guidelines affect how food will be presented to consumers.

For that “healthy” label, cereals need three-fourth ounces of whole grains and no more than 1 gram of saturated fat, 230 milligrams of sodium, and 2.5 grams of added sugars, CNBC reported.

Here are seven common American brands that don’t meet the “healthy” label standards:

Raisin Bran (9 grams of added sugars)

Honey Nut Cheerios (12 grams of added sugars)

Corn Flakes (300 milligrams of sodium; 4 grams of added sugars)

Honey Bunches of Oats, Honey Roasted (8 grams of added sugars)

Frosted Mini Wheats (12 grams of added sugars)

Life (8 grams of added sugars)

Special K (270 milligrams of sodium; 4 grams of added sugars)
“Nutrition is key to improving our nation’s health,” said Xavier Becerra, Health and Human Services secretary. “Healthy food can lower our risk for chronic disease. But too many people may not know what constitutes healthy food. FDA’s move will help educate more Americans to improve health outcomes, tackle health disparities and save lives.”
