Baked Parmesan Chicken Tenders

 My Family really enjoys Chicken tenders.  I on the other hand don't enjoy the fact that they are deep fried.  I have been looking for a recipe that I can bake, that are crunchy and flavorful.  I think I have come up with just that.  I made these last night and my family were fighting over who got to take the left overs for lunch the  next day.  

I think that says it all right there.

There are very few ingredients, which is something that I love.  Yet they are still full of flavor.

Combine the Buttermilk, Salt and Pepper in a bowl and add the chicken tenders.  Soak in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

In a pie plate combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.  Dredge the chicken in the crumb mixture.  Press down gentle to get the crumb mixture to adhere. Preheat the over to 450 degrees.

I use a Sil pad, so no oil is needed.  If you are using a baking dish, lightly brush with Olive Oil.  

Line the tenders on the baking pan.   

No addition oil is required.  

My original recipe I drizzled with oil.  

The chicken tenders came out oily.  

Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy

Love,

Barbara

Since you have buttermilk, why not make

Buttermilk Pancakes

Strawberry Pavlova

My friend made me this dessert when she had us over for dinner. She told me it was guilt free because it was so low in calories. I immediately got nervous. I want my desserts to taste like I am having a decadent dessert. I hate light desserts where you feel like you could eat 10 more and you don't feel satisfied. I was so surprised at how delicious this was. Yesterday my nephew texted me telling me he hasn't had any of my desserts in a long time....I kept thinking about what I could make him. He's more of a fruity dessert person than a chocolate ( I don't know how we are related!!) so I decided to make Pavlova and see how he liked it. It turned out they all LOVED it and wanted seconds. The best part about this dessert is it's gluten free and the pavlova is only 150 calories (not including strawberries and whipped cream)

Heat oven to 350 degrees and separate egg whites into a mixing bowl.  Beat egg whites with sugar, vanilla and vinegar. Don't be nervous by the fact that its like making a meringue. I hate any pie with meringue. This is more like a toasted marshmallow.

On a greased cookie sheet drop egg mixture and use your spoon to make a nest. These double in size when you bake up

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and top with Fresh Strawberries and whipped cream.

you will thank me for this xoxo Janis!!
