Chicken tenderloins are my favorite meat for quick dinners. They cook fast and don’t require cutting or trimming first. Since chicken doesn’t have a ton of flavor on its own you can incorporate them in hundreds of ways.

This recipe has the same topping I use on my Garlic Parmesan Zucchini. It is a family favorite and I knew it would also be great on chicken. My kids gobbled this up.
I must say it is awfully hard to type while holding a baby. If my posts are a bit less wordy than normal that is why. My sweet 7-week old boy is such a blessing but he loves to be in mama’s arms. I wear him in baby carriers often but he’s happier if I’m moving around doing chores than sitting and typing. Creating recipes and taking photos is easy, even editing since I can click with one hand, but two-handed typing, not so much.
Five Minute Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders Recipe Ingredients:
2.5 pounds chicken tenderloins
3/4 cup mayo
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese, divided
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
Mayo is my favorite condiment ever. It takes almost any savory dish and kicks it up a notch. It is my go-to for making anything dairy-free creamy. That delicious emulsified oil can replace cream in many recipes.

- 2.5 pounds chicken tenderloins
- 3/4 cup mayo
- 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Combine the mayo, 1/4 cup of the cheese, garlic, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Put the chicken on a large baking sheet. I put parchment on mine to save on the cleanup.
- Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese. Watch the chicken closely if you are broiling so it doesn't burn.
