Mealthy Tip

If you are looking to make this paleo and/or grain-free and gluten-free, try almond meal instead of the bread crumbs.

Need some dipping sauce ideas? Mix honey and Dijon mustard together for a simple honey mustard dip. Try Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and dill for a more savory dip. Or pop open the ketchup bottle for a classic dip!

Gene White says:

I made this recipe when my grandkids came over and they loved them. It's a very easy recipe, they were able to help dip the chicken in the egg wash and breadcrumbs. We served it with ketchup and it was the perfect afternoon lunch. The air fryer was the best investment, we use it almost daily!

Bill Austin says:

Tenders are a huge hit in our house. I made this recipe the other night and there were no leftovers. I added some grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs for some extra flavor.
