Description

Juicy and tender chicken breast tenders cooked to perfection in the air fryer, with a crispy coating that makes them irresistible.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Chicken breast tenders
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the chicken breast tenders to the bowl and toss until well coated.
  4. If using breadcrumbs, place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and dredge each tender in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
  5. Place the chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
  6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken tenders in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard or barbecue sauce.
