Goldfish-Crusted Chicken Tenders Recipe

American · Main course · 27 min total

Crunchy, cheesy, and kid-friendly, these chicken tenders use crushed Goldfish crackers for a fun twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast tenders
• 2 cups Goldfish crackers (any flavor), finely crushed
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Cooking spray or oil for baking

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed Goldfish mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dip each tender first in flour, shaking off excess, then in egg, and finally in the Goldfish mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Place coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
6. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use a mix of cheddar and original Goldfish.
• Serve with honey mustard, ranch, or ketchup for dipping.
• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
