Ingredients

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• nonstick cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup plain bread crumbs
• 1 ½ pounds chicken breast tenderloins

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x11-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix panko and plain bread crumbs together in a shallow bowl. Add Creole seasoning and pepper; mix thoroughly. Beat eggs in another bowl.

Step 3

Cover tenderloins in flour, then dip in egg mixture, following with a heavy coating of bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded chicken pieces in the greased pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and no longer pink in the centers, about 20 minutes, turning chicken pieces halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
