Yöntemler

Gather and preheat

Gather ingredients. Preheat oven to 400℉.

Prep the slaw

Prepare fresh ingredients: Dice both kinds of cabbage, separating the leaves. Dice green onions.

Dress the slaw

Combine fresh ingredients in a large bowl or casserole dish and pour ½ cup Caesar dressing over the top.

Cover and chill

Toss the cabbage and green onions with the Caesar dressing and then grate 1 ounce of parmesan cheese over the top. Cover the salad and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate while you make your chicken.

Marinate the chicken

Combine chicken, Greek yogurt, ¼ tsp salt, and water.

Cover the marinating chicken and refrigerate while you prep the breading.

Mix the panko

In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix together panko, onion powder, garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt, pepper, and neutral oil.

Spread the panko out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Toast the panko for 2-4 minutes in the oven until golden brown. It’s ok if the panko varies in color, toasting them before breading helps make these chicken tenders extra crispy, but they will continue to brown on the chicken during the baking process. Set a timer! The panko can burn fast!

Bread the chicken

Transfer the toasted panko back to the mixing bowl you used to add the seasonings. One at a time, using your hands or tongs, toss the marinated chicken tenders in the toasted panko mixture, pressing it into the panko to make sure they are thoroughly covered on both sides.

Transfer each breaded chicken tender to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (You can use the same parchment and baking sheet you toasted the panko crumbs on.)

Bake the tenders

Bake the chicken tenders in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping them half way through. Make sure they reach the minimum internal temperature of 165F.

Slice the chicken

Slice as many of the chicken tenders as you want into bite-sized pieces. (I would go for a serving size of ~2 tenders per person for this salad.)

Combine

Add chicken and croutons to the marinated cabbage salad.

Toss and serve

Toss it all together and enjoy!
