Parmesan Chicken Tenders ~ Tailgating Time

You don't have to like football to enjoy tailgating! What is more fun than sharing good food with good friends? Join us for week #7 of Tailgating Time, it's easy, just add your link! It's all about the food!!



This is a healthier version of chicken tenders, since they are baked not fried. Of course you can pan fry them and they turn out just as good. In a zip top bag dust the chicken in some flour, tapping off the excess flour. Then using two flat shaped bowls or pie tins and lightly beat 1 egg with about 1 Tablespoon deli mustard (you can use Dijon). In the other bowl or pie tin, I used half and half bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese (sometimes more parm). Season the bread crumbs with salt and pepper and whatever seasoning you like. I used grill seasoning on mine. Dip the chicken in the egg/mustard mixture then lay it into the Parmesan mix lightly pressing into the crumbs. Use one hand in the egg so the other will stay dry. Place the breaded tender onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. I always use my stoneware for this. I have a large bar pan that works great. With the stoneware you don't have to grease it or turn the tenders to brown them. Spray the tops with cooking spray or I sprinkled with a little olive oil over each one (just a touch). Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes until chicken is done and it's golden brown.
Don't forget to bring along your favorite dipping sauce, whether it's BBQ, honey dijon, ranch, or chipotle/mayo...the list goes on...what do you dip your chicken tenders in? Or are you a no-dipper?


Tailgating Time will be posted every Sunday at noon and there is a change this week. It will be open until noon on Wednesday. That should still give you plenty of time to add your family favorites. We'll play each and every week until Superbowl Sunday.
Can't wait to see what you bring!

  2. Hi Lyndsey, I'm bringing pie to the party this week. I love chicken tenders, yours look incredibly crispy and tasty. I'm a ranch dressing person. I even dip my pizza in ranch (I know, I'm weird) so definitely ranch dip for my chicken tenders!

  3. Thanks Mari! I think most everyone likes chicken tenders one way or the other.

    Brenda, your pie sounds good! I figured I'd bake the tenders and we can always warm them up on a pan on the grill! ;D

    My nieces like ranch on their pizza too, so this isn't the first I've heard of it. So I guess you aren't too weird hehe! My daughter and I like ranch for our tenders too. Now chicken wings...that's another story!

  8. All of those dishes look fun to eat! I like your baked chicken tender, I'm afraid of frying anything in my kitchen because of the lingering heavy greasy odor. This is a great solution.

  24. Yum, chicken tenders are always a great tailgating (or any other time) food :-)

    Sorry I haven been by, still dealing with mom, hospital and the latest - rehab. It's been a crazy time. Thanks for your comment offering your help. Can you come cook for us every night? Just kidding of course. I'll tell ya though, we've had to settle for fast food and take out more in these last two weeks than we've eaten in the last two years. Ick!

  25. This looks like a nice variation on a recipe we use a lot. I'm looking forward to trying it out!

  26. Rita - I often try to bake instead of frying food. It tastes good to us!

    Martha - You know I would make you dinner any time you asked! :D Hope things settle down for you and your family, my prayers are with you!

    Beth - I hope you enjoy them. I love using my stoneware because it browns things or crisps them with out having to turn them.
