Preparation
in 15 minutes
Cooking
in 20 minutes
Temperature
200 °C
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put crackers in food processor or blender and pulse into fine crumbs. This makes 1 cup crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a shallow dish and mix in Parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic powder.
- Beat eggs in a separate shallow dish.
- Working with one tenderloin at a time, dip chicken into beaten eggs to coat evenly, then dredge in the crumbs, pressing to adhere.
- Place tenderloin on prepared baking sheet, and repeat with remaining tenderloins.
- Lightly drizzle (or spray) tenderloins with olive oil. Bake chicken 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Immediately sprinkle tenderloins with mozzarella cheese. Gently insert a skewer into each tenderloin.
- Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan and serve it with the chicken for dipping.
To make in an air fryer:
- After lightly drizzling or spraying tenderloins with olive oil, place them in an air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Set temperature to 200°C and cook for 8 minutes.
- Use tongs to turn each tenderloin and cook them for another 8 minutes.
- Remove tenderloins and immediately sprinkle them with mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat until all the tenderloins have been cooked. Depending on the size of the air fryer, this may need to be done in batches.
Tip: Make the cracker crumbs by placing the crackers in a large zipper-style plastic bag. Seal bag and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into fine crumbs.
