Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lb. boneless, skinless chicken tenders
- 1 tsp. dried basil

- 2 tbsp. olive oil (reduced from 6 tbsp. to lower WW Points)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tsp. minced garlic
- ⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese

WW tip: Using 2 tbsp. olive oil instead of 6 tbsp. significantly reduces the Points while keeping the chicken crispy and flavorful.
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, dried basil, and paprika.
- Place the flour in one bowl.
- In another bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.
- Coat each chicken tender lightly in flour, then coat with the Panko-Parmesan mixture.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly drizzle with the 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
