In a bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Rinse and pat dry 1 pound of chicken tenders.
Dip each chicken tender into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere.
Place the coated chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken tenders are cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Homemade Chicken Tenders with your family's favorite dipping sauces and a side of steamed vegetables or a salad. Enjoy this healthier version of a classic favorite!
