Stock your freezer with some of these easy and kid-friendlyĀ BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS. No pre-cooking needed. All you have to do is prep & freeze.Ā These go straight from the freezer-to-oven for a quick lunch or dinner.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
When ready to eat, these go straight from the freezer to oven (no need to thaw). Bake at 400 degrees on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. I sometimes broil the breaded tenders for a minute if needed to brown the top further.
Note: When prepping, you can also cut the tenders into nugget-size pieces if preferred.

2 lbs fresh chicken tenders/tenderloinPrep Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

Work smarter, not harder, right?
Jarred sauce is great for convenience (trust me, Iāve used about every convenience item in the store at some point, so this is a non-judging zone) but many of them contain quite a bit of added sugar. Homemade sauce is silly easy to make, so why not avoid the added sugar and just make your own?
These three sauces are all built on one basic sauce; you're just adding a couple of ingredients each time that transforms the final product. All of these sauces can be frozen (make sure to cool completely first).
The basic sauce is equal to about one 28-ounce jar of pasta sauce.
