Using only four ingredients and a few minutes of your time, these homemade baked pesto chicken tenders are perfect for those busy weeknights. Basil, along with other ingredients in pesto, has many health benefits, and these are baked instead of fried, making them an overall healthier choice.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pesto
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Whisk pesto and mayonnaise together in a bowl. Dredge both sides of each chicken tender in pesto mixture and coat with bread crumbs. Arrange tenders on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
