Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 lemon, zested
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and the zest of 1 lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Dip each chicken tender into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken. Place the coated tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the chicken tenders with 1 tbsp of olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the roasted vegetables. Cut 1 lb of mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces and place them on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve the lemon herb crusted chicken tenders with the roasted vegetables and enjoy!
The history of Lemon Herb Crusted Chicken Tenders dates back to the Mediterranean region, where the use of fresh herbs and citrus flavors in cooking is a culinary tradition. This dish has evolved over time, with chefs adding their own unique twists to the recipe. The crispy, golden-brown chicken tenders are coated in a zesty blend of lemon zest, fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary, and breadcrumbs, creating a burst of flavor with every bite. The side of roasted vegetables complements the dish perfectly, adding a colorful and nutritious element to the meal. One of the best versions of this dish can be found in the coastal regions of Italy, where chefs use locally sourced lemons and herbs to enhance the flavors of the chicken tenders. The key to getting this dish right lies in using high-quality, fresh ingredients and ensuring that the chicken is perfectly cooked to tender, juicy perfection. An alternative method for making this dish involves grilling the chicken tenders instead of baking them, which adds a smoky flavor to the dish. For a truly memorable dining experience, look for restaurants that prioritize using organic, free-range chicken and locally sourced vegetables in their Lemon Herb Crusted Chicken Tenders. This attention to quality ingredients elevates the dish to a whole new level, making it a must-try for food enthusiasts.
