Chicken tenders on Texas toast with sauce and sherred mozzarella

Equipment Needed

Before you start, make sure you have the following kitchen equipment:

• Shallow dishes or bowls for breading
• Large skillet or frying pan
• Baking sheet with a wire rack (optional, for keeping tenders crispy)
• Small saucepan (for the sauce)
• Knife and cutting board
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tongs or spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Tenders

1. Bread the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
2. Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken tenders in batches, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

2. Make the Sauce

1. Heat the Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinara sauce, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

3. Prepare the Texas Toast

1. Toast the Bread: While the chicken and sauce are cooking, toast the Texas toast according to the package instructions, or until golden brown and crispy. If you prefer, you can toast it in the oven or on a griddle for a more even crisp.

4. Assemble the Dish

1. Layer the Toast and Chicken: Place each slice of Texas toast on a baking sheet or serving plate. Top each slice with a few chicken tenders.
2. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spoon a generous amount of sauce over the chicken tenders. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
3. Broil to Melt Cheese: Preheat your broiler. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.

5. Garnish and Serve

1. Garnish: Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
