Instructions

Pound out chicken tenders with a meat mallet until very thin. Remove membranes.
Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes. Combine flour, 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, paprika, granulated onion, and pepper in the first bowl; mix until well combined. Whip eggs and remaining Parmesan cheese together in the second dish. Pour panko bread crumbs into the third dish.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat until oil reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Then dip tenders into egg mixture, and finally into panko bread crumbs, pressing to make sure panko adheres.
Pan-fry chicken tenders in the hot oil until browned, about 90 seconds on each side. Remove tenders to a lined drip tray to drain excess fat before serving.
