Healthier Chicken Tenders

These chicken tenders are a great alternative to the greasy and bad-carb super-processed chicken tenders from the frozen aisle or fast food joint. Enjoy these with your favorite dipping sauce with a lot less guilt!

Ingredients

1 lb. chicken filets, sliced 2 in. wide
2 whole wheat pitas
1 tsp. dry oregano
1/2 tsp. dry sage
olive oil
salt
pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly toast the pitas in the toaster or toaster oven until they are crisp. Use a food processor or blender to turn the pitas into the bread crumbs to coat your chicken. Combine the ground pitas, oregano, and sage in a medium size bowl. Brush the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle a little salt and pepper over each piece. Place the chicken pieces one at a time in the bowl, cover with the pita and herb mixture, and place on the baking sheet. Place in the oven for 25 minutes, turn each piece using tongs, and continue cooking for another 20 minutes.
