Garlic Panko Chicken Strips

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat; as butter starts to melt, add minced garlic into the saucepan.

2. 2

   Once butter has melted, remove from heat and pour garlic butter mixture into a low flat dish, like a soup plate or pie pan.

3. 3

   In another low, flat dish, combine panko, parmesan, and parsley if using (some kids don't like green bits in their food, so feel free to leave out); add salt and pepper to suit your tastes.

4. 4

   Preheat oven to 400F; have ready a baking pan that's been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

5. 5

   Remove chicken tenderloin from breasts and leave whole, then cut breasts crosswise into strips.

6. 6

   Roll chicken pieces into garlic butter, then completely dredge in panko mixture; place on prepared baking pan.

7. 7

   Should you have any panko mixture left over when you are done, sprinkle over chicken strips; should you have any melted butter left over, pour over chicken.

8. 8

   Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked through.
