Calories: 70kcal

- 12 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast cut into strips
- 1 Tbsp 16g Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp 15g Grated Parmesan*
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Parsley Flakes
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel before tossing with the olive oil.

Notes
*For crispier tenders, you could use 1/4 cup (30g) grated parmesan like I used for the garlic parmesan nuggets in my air fryer chicken nuggets recipe guide.
For baked chicken tenders, my buttermilk baked chicken tenderloins recipe would be a good example. Try 400ºF for 15-18 minutes.
For a dip, try 1/4 C fat free Greek yogurt mixed with 1 Tbsp ground dijon mustard, 1 Tbsp grated parmesan, and 1 tsp hot sauce.
Each air fried chicken tender has 1 WW SmartPoint (blue).
