Ingredients
1 pound raw chicken tenders
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds (optional)
1/4 cup olive oil for frying
Directions
1.Pound chicken tenders thin, using a meat pounder.
2. Beat eggs with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place egg mixture in a shallow bowl. Place flour in another shallow bowl, and bread crumbs, mixed with sesame seeds, in a third bowl.
3. Coat each piece in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, shaking excess off, and finally dredge in the bread crumbs mixture.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, about 4 minutes.
5. Place half the tenders in the hot oil and fry about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Place on paper towels to drain.
6. Carefully wipe the skillet using paper towels, add the remainder of the oil, and fry the second batch. Or you can use two skillets and cut the frying time in half.
