Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) or an air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Set up three shallow bowls:
Flour in the first bowl.
Beaten eggs in the second.
Breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper in the third.
Coat each chicken tender in flour, dip into the eggs, then cover thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
Step 2: Bake Until Crispy
Arrange the coated tenders on a parchment-lined baking tray. Lightly brush or spray with olive oil.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 3: Cook the Fries
Prepare the fries according to package directions or your preferred homemade method.
While still hot, toss them with paprika and a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Step 4: Make the Herb Dip
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, and grated garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Serve
Arrange the crispy chicken tenders, seasoned fries, and fresh salad on serving plates. Add the creamy herb dip on the side and serve immediately.
