How to make Homemade Chicken Tenders
All you need is some chicken tenders, flour, eggs, water, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and seasoning. Simply dip the chicken in the flour, then eggs, then breadcrumb mixture and bake them!
I kept the seasoning in these to a minimum so the kids would approve, however you could easily spice them up if you or your kids prefer more flavor!
