I found this recipe on-line the other day and I thought I would give it a try. It sounds like something the whole family would eat, which is a BIG PLUS for me. I'll let you know if they tasted any good.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken Tenders

WLS serving, 2 pieces about 3 ounces: Calories 208, fat 8 gr, carbs 5 gr, protein 22 gr
Serves four, 2-3 per regular serving

10-12 chicken tenderloins, about one pound
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup mayonnaise (I prefer Hellmann’s or Best Foods Light)
¼ grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup Italian flavored breadcrumbs or Japanese Panko breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken tenders in a small bowl, cover with water, add salt and soak for 10-15 minutes. Remove tenders from brining solution, drain well and pat dry with paper towels.

Combine mayonnaise with cheese in a small bowl. Coat each tender with the mayonnaise mixture, lightly roll in breadcrumbs and place on baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until almost cooked through; turn on broiler and continue to cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.

I made them the other night and they were good! They were a bit messy putting together though. It works best to spread the mayo/cheese mixture with a butter knife otherwise it doesn't stick on the chicken very well. They were nice and moist though and 2 of them went down nice and easy.

I think I will have to try these this weekend. They sound good!

I finally made these this weekend. My son and my husband LOVED them too and have asked to make them a regular menu item!!
They came out nice and tender!
I am thinking it might be easier to mix the cheese in with the bread crumbs instead of the mayo. I will try that next time to see if it works the same since I really think it would be a lot less time consuming and MUCH easier!
Thanks again for posting the recipe!

Jeanette,

I debated about doing the same thing as I was making them last time. Let me know if that works out any better. These were a big hit with my family too and I know I'll be making them again in the future.
