These are sooo good and sooo easy!!! I used sliced boneless/skinless chicken breasts but the packaged "chicken tenders" would work just as well. The amount of the ingredients and cooking time are spot on (no waste & no guesses on the cooking) -- thanks very much for that. As advertised, they are crispy on the outside & tender inside. I just polished off the leftovers for lunch...still yummy!

These chicken fingers were delicious (too delicious, perhaps -- I am SO full now!). I served them with ranch and bbq sauce for dipping, and garlic/herb Shake 'n' Bake potatoes -- easy dinner and big hit w/my dh. The recipe was well-written and very easy to follow. I did find on my stove I had to turn the heat down to med lo and cover the skillet part of the time in order to cook the thicker strips through before they became too brown. I think I'll buy the pre-cut tenders next time and try baking (btw, the Shake 'n' Bake potatoes cook at 400, same as this recipe! :)) Subs: I used Bisquick mix mixed with some Cajun seasoning instead of flour, beat 2 Tbls ranch dressing into the eggs, and used half Italian breadcrumbs, half cornflake crumbs. All seemed to work well. Thanks for a great recipe!
