Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders

My family is a homemade oven-baked chicken tenders kind of family. We enjoy serving them alongside mashed potatoes or oven-baked fries, green beans or corn on the cob, and dipped in ketchup or ranch.

While they are more time consuming to make from scratch, there really is no comparison to the homemade version! Frozen chicken tenders from the store simply cannot compare after tasting the freshness of making them yourself.

This isn’t the only from scratch recipe I’ve created to replace store-bought options! Homemade Hot Chocolate | Maple Syrup Sweetened, A Delicious Chili Soup Recipe, How to Start a Sourdough Starter, Homemade Sourdough Dinner Rolls, and more!
