Directions
- Combine bread crumbs with salt, fresh pepper, red pepper flakes.
- Mix the 2 eggs in a bowl & add salt, pepper, a few red pepper flakes and hot sauce*, the amount based on the heat you want – You can always add more once cooked!
- Prepare the chicken tenders (wash & dry- I pounded mine for tenderness for several seconds)
- Heat frying pan with PAM and top off with 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Dredge tenders in egg mix then bread crumbs and lay in heated frying pan.

- Remove to paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Serve garnished with celery and low fat blue cheese, my yogurt dill dressing or the dressing of your choice
