    These simple Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders are dipped in a lemon butter sauce then breaded with lemon pepper seasoned bread crumbs. Even my kids loved this recipe. 

    Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders

    My in-laws came into town and I needed an easy recipe for dinner. When I have out of town guests I want to cook them a great dinner, but I also want to visit with them and not spend all my time in the kitchen.

    I thought these would be perfect for our guests but at the same time a kid-friendly recipe. These lemon pepper chicken tenders are simple to make but taste great!

    Making Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders:

    Time to get cooking. Go ahead and preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray or foil and set aside.

    I used foil so I could throw it all away after. Less clean up is always a good thing in my house. In a wide bowl add bread crumbs and seasonings (dried parsley, salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning) mix together and set aside.

     Melt butter and place in a shallow bowl. Add lemon juice and mix. Dip chicken into the butter mix. Add buttered chicken into your breadcrumb mix and coat evenly.

    Place each on a prepared baking sheet. Cook for 12 minutes, flip your chicken, and then return to cook for another 12 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and both sides have slightly browned.

    If you love lemon pepper as much as we do then make sure to check out the rest of our recipes.
