Cooking Mamas, I Need a Bit of Help with Breaded Chicken

Put tenderloins in a ziplock bag, add a few T of olive oil, coat, then add seasoned breadcrumbs and a T of grater Parmesan to the bag. Toss.
Place on cookie sheet. 350 for about 15 min. Delish!
I make this ALL the time. Fast, easy & yummy.

I use Greek yogurt to dip the chicken in and then I roll the chicken in bread crumbs from a can and pop in the oven. You really can't get any easier than that!

It takes 5 minutes to bread chicken, and surely you have that!!!

It will be soggy.
But it doesn't take long to bread chicken. It takes longer to get the supplies together then it takes to actually bread it and that you can do beforehand. To bread (for baking) I just dip in the liquid, milk and egg or straight butter, then coat in bread crumbs and directly into the oven. You can soak them in the liquid all day to shave of a few seconds (depending on the liquid).

I have never tried it, but I strongly suspect you will end up with soggy chicken.

I think there is a reason fried chicken is a traditional Sunday dinner. It takes time to do it well. You could make the chicken on a weekend and reheat it for dinner during the week, but I wouldn't refrigerate breaded, uncooked chicken.

It will probably get soggy...

But you can prep your breading dishes the night before...you start with coating the chicken in flour, then dipping it in beaten egg, then coating it in breadcrumbs/panko. Prep all three dishes the night before keeping the eggs in the fridge, then just run your chicken though and cook it.

Good luck!!

It only takes a few minutes to dip the chicken in flour, then milk/egg and then bread crumbs. You could make your egg/milk mixture and your bread crumbs the night before, but I would not bread the chicken until your oil or oven was hot.

I cook crumbed chicken quite often, and I like to prepare it ahead of time and then refrigerate because the crumbs seems to stick better. I've never had a problem with sogginess. The hot frying oil crisps it up nicely.

Try this. It's yummy.

I do shake and bake sometimes. Kids like it and it's quick to make. :)

I agree to let it soak in milk, buttermilk, yogurt, eggs or a combo of those overnight and then have the other stuff prepped and ready to do. You can leave the breadcrumbs in a dish on the counter, just cover it with wrap or something.

You can prep it ahead of time.
But instead of putting it in the fridge, put it in the freezer.
That way, it won't get soggy.
I mean, there is pre-made packaged breaded chicken in the freezer aisle at grocery stores, and it is not soggy.
You just stick it in the oven, even frozen, and bake it until done.
And its fine.
