Day 7: Parmesan Chicken Tenders

Courtesy of: Everyday Food Magazine
Serves: 4
Prep and cook time: 30 minutes

1/3 cup panko or plain dried breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
1 tsp dried thyme
Olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preheat oven to 450, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small bowl, mix together panko and parmesan. In a 9x13 dish, toss chicken with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and thyme, season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken in a single layer and sprinkle with panko mixture. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake on upper rack until topping is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Incredibly simple and quite delicious. The chicken was tender and very flavorful. This method of breading doesn't coat the bottoms, so they aren't really chicken tenders in the dipping sense. I sliced Calvin's up for him and he ate like a champ. I wasn't sure how he'd feel about the thyme, but he loved them, and didn't even ask for dip (a first). No modifications to this one, it's a keeper!
