Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare it for baking the chicken tenders.
- Prepare the breadcrumb mixture: In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful coating.

- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Add olive oil: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken tenders to help them achieve a golden and crispy texture when baked.
- Bake the tenders: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken tenders are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.

Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the tenders halfway through baking and drizzle a little more olive oil if needed.
- Ensure the chicken tenders are of even size for uniform cooking.
- You can substitute breadcrumbs with panko for a crunchier texture.
- Serve with a marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
- Make sure to not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and even baking.
