Low-Point Parmesan Crusted Air Fryer Chicken Tenders😋

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Cooking spray

Instructions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare Coating:
   • In a shallow dish, combine grated Parmesan cheese, whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Coat Chicken Tenders:
   • Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken tender into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly on all sides. Press gently to adhere the coating.
4. Cook in Air Fryer:
   • Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each tender.
   • Cook the chicken tenders in the preheated air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
5. Serve:
   • Once cooked, transfer the Parmesan crusted air fryer chicken tenders to a serving plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
