Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Set out 3 medium shallow bowls.

In the first bowl add whole wheat flour.

In the second bowl, crack and whisk eggs.

In the third bowl mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, pepper, salt, dried basil and dried parsley.

Form an assembly line of flour, egg and breadcrumbs.

Dip the chicken tenders in whole wheat flour, coating evenly on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Immediately dip the chicken into the egg mixture, coating well on both sides. Shake off any excess egg.

Immediately dip the chicken into the breading mixture. Coat the chicken on both sides, gently patting down on the chicken to make sure the breading sticks well.

Place the chicken tenders on a parchment lined baking sheet sprayed with olive oil.. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the outside of the chicken is browned and crispy.

If you want extra crispiness, turn the oven up to the broil setting and broil the chicken tenders for an extra minute. Make sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.

Serve with crunchy baked french fries, your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
