Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well.
- Place the chicken tenders into the bowl with your prepared marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Set up your breading station. In one dish, place the breadcrumbs, and in another, beat the eggs. Lay out an empty dish for transferring the coated chicken.
- Take each marinated chicken tender, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then roll in the breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top of the breaded tenders.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
For extra crispy coating, use panko breadcrumbs and press them firmly onto the chicken.
