Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips

Recommended Equipment
- Air Fryer (click for my favorite)
Instructions
- Add melted butter to a shallow bowl.
- In a second shallow bowl, mix together the Panko, parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Dredge the chicken tenders. First, dip a tender in the melted butter then dredge in the Panko breading. Set aside on a plate or sheet pan and repeat with all tenders.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Transfer breaded tenders to the air fryer in a single layer (cooking in batches, if needed). Air fry at 400 degrees F for 11-13 minutes. The tenders are done when they are fully cooked (165 degrees F) and golden brown. Repeat with remaining tenders.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
