These Parmesan Naked Chicken Tenders are the perfect family-friendly meal you can have ready in under 25 minutes. The Parmesan adds the perfect depth of flavor while keeping these chicken tenders completely gluten-free and simple to make.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp oil I prefer avocado oil + extra for pan
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan
- salt and pepper to taste the parmesan adds quite a bit of salt already!
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1" strips. For extra tender strips, gently pound the chicken to about 1/2-inch thickness using the flat side of a meat hammer. Placing the chicken in a plastic bag or between wax or parchment paper helps keep things clean.
- Place all the ingredients into a Ziplock bag or bowl & mix until the strips are evenly coated.
- Place the strips in a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Cook uncovered until bottom sides are golden brown. Flip and continue to cook until both sides are golden brown and the internal temperature of the strips is at least 165° F.
