This is a yummy chicken finger recipe with a bit of Parmesan cheese in the bread crumb coating for added flavor.
It’s and easy dinner recipe. And you can always count on everyone loving chicken tenders, even the pickiest eaters in the house.
Making this Chicken Finger Recipe
Making these chicken fingers is really easy.
You can use whole chicken breasts as in the recipe and slice the breasts into chicken fingers, or wide strips. To make life easier, you can just buy those smaller chicken tenders. They are just that little part of the breast that tears off easily. Many stores sell them separately, so if you want a quick and easy dinner recipe, just buy those instead of whole chicken breasts.
The breading is a simple mix of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg, then the bread crumbs. Then fry them up. That’s it!
Add a great dipping sauce and serve.
Give this easy recipe a try. I think you will love it.
Tips:
- Want an at home diner experience? Serve these great chicken fingers with homemade french fries and onion rings. Make some chocolate shakes and you will think you are at Arnold’s Diner. Not something you want to do every day, but for a treat once in a while, it really hits the spot.
- You can easily do whole chicken breasts like this too. To make them a bit faster to cook, I would slice the breasts across the middle into two thin slices of breast meat.
- These chicken fingers make great appetizer finger food recipes too. Serve a pile of them on a platter surrounded by your favorite chicken dips, like blue cheese dip, ketchup or ranch salad dressing. Great for parties.
