The kids had so much fun making these Homemade Chicken Tenders tonight and I am super impressed with their breading skills! Apparently these chicken tenders were so good that there was only one left… and it was just the kids and I eating them! They are super simple to make and don’t take much time to bake.
How to make Homemade Chicken Tenders
All you need is some chicken tenders, flour, eggs, water, and breadcrumbs. Simply dip the chicken in the flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs 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!

Serve and enjoy!
