Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken tender in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat thoroughly in the panko-Parmesan mixture.
Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for crispiness.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
