Introduction

Cooking chicken tenderloin can be a little tricky, but if you know the right steps, it’s also a very simple process. Here’s what you need to do:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Put the chicken tenderloin in a baking dish, skin side down. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning once halfway through cooking time (check with a meat thermometer). Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips or cubes

Add a little olive oil to a small bowl.

• Add a little olive oil to a small bowl.
• The olive oil will help your chicken stay moist and tender as it cooks in the oven, so be sure to drizzle it over both sides of your tenderloin before placing it in the pan.

Season chicken tenderloin with salt and pepper.

To season your chicken tenderloin, you’ll want to use a generous amount of salt and pepper. The best way to get the right amount is with freshly ground pepper. You can use a fine grinder for this or even better, an electric spice mill that will do it for you! If you have more than one person eating with you, consider using a coarse grinder so everyone gets their fair share of seasoning without any leftovers stuck in the corners of their plate (yuck).

Black peppercorns will give your dish an extra kick without overpowering its natural flavors; however, if white peppercorns are all that’s available at your local grocery store then go ahead and use those instead–they’re just as good!

Dredge tenderloins in flour and shake off excess.

The flour helps to keep the chicken tenderloin from drying out and also gives it a crispy coating. Any kind of all-purpose flour will work, but if you have an option for whole wheat or another type of specialty flour, go for it!

Dip tenderloins into egg wash and coat with bread crumbs.

• Dip tenderloins into egg wash and coat with bread crumbs.
• Use a fork to dip the tenderloin into the egg wash, then use a spoon to evenly coat it with bread crumbs. Make sure you have enough bread crumbs for both tenderloins and that they’re evenly distributed on all sides of each piece of chicken.

Bake for 25 minutes, turn chicken over and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Bake for 25 minutes, turn chicken over and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cooking time depends on the size of your tenderloin. A smaller one will take less time than a larger one to cook through, so keep that in mind when purchasing one to make sure you’re not buying something that’s too big for your oven’s capacity.
• If you want crispy skin on your chicken, turn up the heat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit after turning it over halfway through; this will help crisp up that skin without drying out the meat underneath!
