Ingredients
Preparation
Cut chicken breasts into strips. Season with salt/pepper, onion powder and lemon juice. You can also season it with other herbs of your choice. But, I did a simple kid friendly version. You will need to process some fresh sliced bread in a food processor. You will need about 4 cups fresh bread crumbs. It is at this point that you can add some Italian herbs to the bread crumbs(optional). Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Set aside. Beat eggs and place in a shallow dish. You can sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper if you like. Set aside. Place flour in a shallow dish. Bring the bread crumbs, beaten eggs and flour in close proximity.Take a chicken strip and dredge in flour.Dip the floured chicken into the beaten egg and cover completely.Let drain and place in the fresh bread crumbs.Shake off excess bread crumbs and place on a plate(or a parchment lined cookie sheet).Do the rest of the chicken strips in the same manner.In a heavy pot, add enough oil(about 1-2 inches) to be able to fry the chicken strips. Heat oil to about 35o-375 degs. Place chicken strips in hot oil and fry till golden.Place on paper towels to drain. Serve with your favorite sauce. You can freeze these chicken tenders and then reheat in the oven.
