Healthy Chicken Tenders

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs chicken tenderloins - skinless, boneless
• ½ cup low-fat buttermilk - optional, for marinating
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 cup breadcrumbs - seasoned
• 1 tsp smoked paprika - optional, for extra flavor
• Kosher salt - for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F and lightly spray a baking sheet with oil. If you have a wire rack, place it on the sheet for extra crispiness.
2. In one bowl, whisk the egg and mayonnaise. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs and paprika.
3. Dip chicken into the egg mixture, then coat in breadcrumbs, pressing gently so it sticks.
4. Place chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with oil and sprinkle with salt.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temp).
