These Easy Crack Chicken Tenders are juicy, cheesy, and addictive with a golden, crispy crust made from mayonnaise and Parmesan. They’re quick to prepare, kid-friendly, and perfect for dinner, game day, or as a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Pinch of paprika or cayenne (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and any desired seasonings.
  3. Coat chicken tenders evenly with the mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature and topping is golden and bubbly.
  5. For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
  6. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Can be made in the air fryer at 375°F for 12–15 minutes.
  • Swap mayo with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze after baking.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes for best results.
  • Slice chicken breasts into strips or nuggets if substituting tenders.
