- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten

Cooking Tips:
- To make the chicken tenders extra crispy, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or even crushed cornflakes.

- Dip the chicken tenders in beaten eggs before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture to help the coating stick.
- Bake the chicken tenders on a wire rack to help them cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
2. In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
4. Dip each chicken tender in the beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to help them stick.
5. Place the chicken tenders on the wire rack and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve the chicken tenders with marinara sauce and fresh basil for garnish.
