Description

Crispy chicken tenders are topped with Buffalo sauce and mozzarella cheese for a quick and easy skillet dinner sure to be a family favorite.

Ingredients

3 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
9 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®), or to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1 Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
2 Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Place panko in a separate shallow bowl.
3 Dip chicken in eggs, then press into panko to coat.
4 Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/3 of the breaded chicken in hot oil until crust is golden and center is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining oil and breaded chicken in 2 batches.
5 Return pan-fried chicken to the skillet. Pour wing sauce over chicken and sprinkle cheese on top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
