    ⏲️ Time needed

    It'll take about 15 minutes to mix your coating and coat the chicken. They'll bake in 20 minutes, for a total time of about 35 minutes.

    🥘 Ingredients

    • mayonnaise
    • Parmesan cheese
    • garlic powder
    • Italian seasoned bread crumbs
    • skinless, boneless chicken tenderloins

    🌾 Gluten-free adaptation

    You can buy GF breadcrumbs (although they’re a little pricey) or use a different coating, such as corn flakes or almond flour.

    📋 Instructions

    While the oven is preheating to 425°F, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a bowl. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dipping container.

    Spread mayonnaise mixture on each tenderloin, then dip each tenderloin into the bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place coated chicken on a silicone baking sheet or a metal baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

    Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken juices run clear and the coating is golden brown.

    💭 Tips

    Spreading the mayonnaise mixture with a spoon or small spatula is less of a mess, but you may find dipping the tenders by hand to be easier.

    If you don’t want to get your hands messy, wear disposable gloves or get the kids involved—most kids enjoy helping and don’t seem to mind the mess.
