Italian chicken tenders


1 cup seasoned bread crumbs I like progresso italian
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
11/2 teaspoons dried thyme
11/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch (or 2) of ground red pepper flakes
6-8 or more chicken tenders
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
Marinara sauce or honey mustard, for dipping

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a pie plate or platter, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper. Dip the chicken strips in the melted butter, then dredge them in the bread crumb mixture. Place the chicken strips in a single layer on a pamed baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

SERVE IT UP!! with marinara sauce, or serve hot or cold with honey mustard. If you go with the marinara sauce you might want to have some pasta with some of the marinara sauce. When we go with the honey mustard we just do the frozen French fries. Don’t forget some crusty bread, some salad and some wine!!
