Here’s a fact that’s kind of funny, this was my first time EVER trying Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. I know, don’t judge. And before you ask, “Where have you been?” all this time, the answer is right here. Firmly planted and tucked away in the southwest corner of Spain. So, it just isn’t a thing here. Kind of like peanut butter, pop tarts and so much more. Not that I miss pop tarts. Give me a homemade Apple Turnover any day of the week.

Anyway, the other week I was in Aldi and they always have some interesting stuff. I love that supermarket for it’s great finds. And this time around I found Everything But The Bagel Seasoning! I was excited, so picked up just one to try it out. We loved it, so I went back and bought six more! So look out for more recipes to come using this magical seasoning.

And now, let’s look at these easy four ingredient chicken tenders!

Steps To Make The Chicken Tenders

  • Make the breadcrumb mixture – combine the panko breadcrumbs with the eerything bagel seasoning and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk the eggs – in a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • Coat the chicken – dip each piece of chicken in the egg and then in the bread crumb mixture. Firmly press the coating against the chicken.

What are Panko Breadcrumbs

If you’ve never used Panko Breadcrumbs and wondering how different they are, I’ll fill you in. They are made using crustless white bread that is processed into flakes and then dried. The crumb is drier and crisper than than regular breadcrumbs. They give food a lighter and crisper coating than regular breadcrumbs.

Are There Any Substitutions if I Don’t Have Panko Breadcrumbs

I would recommend using something like cracker crumbs, crushed cornflakes or even crushed pretzels. Anything that’s dry and crisp would work in place of Panko breadcrumbs.


Bake The Chicken Tenders

Bake the chicken tenders on a baking sheet in a preheated 375 degree f/190 degrees c oven for about 20 minutes. They will be crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.

You can use a meat thermometer to check doneness if you are unsure. Insert the probe into the fattest part of the tender and when it reaches 165 degrees f, it’s cooked.

DEE-licious! You get the idea, so you need to try them soon. I feed some picky eaters and my son said these were the best Chicken Tenders EVER. Said they even topped my Crispy Chicken Tenders. Not only are these really tasty, they are so easy to make and they use such few ingredients. You just can’t go wrong.

How To prep, Store & Reheat These Tenders


Prep The Tenders in Advance
  1. Prepare the tenders and place in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 12 hours before baking.
  2. After cooking you can reheat them. I like to preheat the oven to 350 degrees f/180 degrees c and place them on a baking tray for about 5 – 8 minutes until warmed through.
