These Parmesan chicken tenders could easily be called Heroin Chicken Tenders because all it takes is one taste and you’re addicted! They’re that good.

This is definitely not the stuff of fast food joints. The Parmesan cheese and the spices make these tenders way beyond what you get at the drive through.

Another reason I like this recipe is that it’s so quick. It’s ideal for a weeknight dinner. 10 or 15 minutes prep time and 20 to 30 minutes baking time and dinner is ready.

Can’t beat that for a weeknight.

Plain chicken breasts can be a bit boring. But I guarantee that this recipe breathes new life into the not-so-hallowed bird.

Despite being packed with protein (which helps our bodies build and repair tissue and keeps us feeling full longer) and being versatile in the kitchen, chicken breasts often get knocked for being boring, tasteless, or just plain not good.

Saltine Crusted Chicken Fingers are so simple and so delicious you would not believe it. The crackers work out perfectly. So much better for the crunch factor than plain flour or even bread crumbs.

The base of the recipe is very simple.

One thing I would like to say is that if you have the time let them marinate overnight. The flavor is so much better that way.

Good flavor, good crunch. That’s what a chicken finger should be!
