Found this recipe in Southern Living about 4 years ago and still make this recipe today. A perfect dinner for a delightful spring night. This recipe is a definite crowd pleaser :)
Serve with refried beans or Mexican rice and you will have a delicious meal that everyone will be praising you over!
Ingredients
1 pound chicken breast tenders
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 large eggs
cooking spray
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
1 pound chicken breast tenders
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 large eggs
cooking spray
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Combine 1/3 cup flour and next 4 ingredients.
3. Next, whisk eggs just until foamy.
4. Place a wire rack coated with cooking spray on a 15- x 10-inch baking sheet.
5. Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture, shaking off excess; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in crushed tortilla chips. Lightly coat chicken on each side with cooking spray; arrange chicken on wire rack.
6. Bake at 425 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until done, turning once half way through. These tortilla crusted chicken strips pair very well with this pineapple kiwi salsa.
