Indulge in a delicious twist on a classic favorite! These Chicken Tenders Parmigiana are perfect for a cozy dinner that the whole family will love.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Prepare three bowls: put the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in the third bowl.
Take the chicken tenders, season them with salt and black pepper, and dip each tender in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated.
Next, dip the floured tenders into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the tenders thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken tenders and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the cooked tenders to a baking dish. Pour tomato sauce evenly over the tenders and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.
