Make your chicken tenders a little bit better for you with these healthier substitutions:
- Whole wheat flour instead of white flour

- Extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, instead of frying
Try out these yummy variations to give your chicken tenders a little extra kick!
- Mix in 1/2 cup shredded cheese with the breadcrumbs. Cheddar and parmesan work well. This will give the chicken tenders added flavor and an extra crunchy texture.
- Bread the chicken tenders with crushed crackers instead of breadcrumbs. Plain crackers, such as saltines, work best.
- Experiment with different seasonings, other than Italian seasoning. Cayenne pepper will make the chicken tenders spicy, poultry seasoning will give them a more subtle taste.
- Cut the chicken into little nuggets instead of strips. This will make it easier for little kids to eat them.
- Bread and fry other meats or vegetables in the same way. Sturdy vegetables like eggplant work well.
