SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup (50g) Perfect Italiano™ Parmesan Grated
• 2 eggs, lightly whisked
• 1/2 cup (125ml) milk
• 12 chicken tenderloins
• Olive oil spray
• 500g packet frozen sweet potato fries
• 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 2/3 cup (165ml) mayonnaise

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Line two oven trays with baking paper, setting the stage for a culinary masterpiece.
2. In a large shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs, and stir in the Perfect Italiano™ Parmesan Grated. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the lightly whisked eggs and milk. Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, and then coat it with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Place the coated chicken tenders onto one of the prepared oven trays, ready for baking.
3. On the second oven tray, arrange the frozen sweet potato fries. Bake the sweet potato fries according to the packet directions until they turn a delectable golden brown.
4. While the sweet potato fries are baking, place the tray with the coated chicken tenders into the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for approximately 15 minutes, turning the tenders halfway through the cooking time. During baking, give the chicken tenders a light spray of olive oil to help achieve that perfect golden-brown and crispy exterior.
5. To create the flavorful accompaniment, stir the sweet chili sauce into the mayonnaise, combining the tangy heat of the chili with the creamy richness of the mayo.
6. Once everything is cooked to perfection, serve the Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Tenders alongside the golden-brown sweet potato fries. Drizzle the zesty sweet chili mayo over the chicken tenders or use it as a dipping sauce, allowing each bite to be enveloped in a delightful blend of flavors.
