I finally found a Chicken Tender recipe that I love, the kids love, and I don’t feel a bit guilty feeding it to them.

These Chicken Tenders are coated in olive oil, and then bread crumbs and Panko Italian Style Bread Crumbs. That it’s! Easy, and, oh, so delicious!

What really gives these chicken tenders their awesome flavor is the Panko Italian Style Bread Crumbs. You need the Italian flavor (or I’m sure you could mix in your own Italian flavors if you want). It makes these so yummy, and so easy with only two steps for coating. Love it!

I admit I’ve never had the original version of chicken divan, and after eating this recipe I am okay with that.

So, I was skimming through her recipes, looking to use up some chicken, and found this chicken divan. Chicken, broccoli, cheese. I was sold!

After making the recipe a couple of nights ago, I’ll tell you it’s a keeper. Make it. You won’t be disappointed.

• 24 oz uncooked chicken breast (or 18 oz cooked)
• salt and pepper
• 1 T butter
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 shallots, minced
• 4 T flour
• 1 cup fat free chicken broth

Directions:

1. I threw my chicken in the crock pot with some salt and pepper and just let her go until done. Easy, peasy.
2. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9×13 pan with cooking spray.
3. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add broccoli and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
4. Heat a medium skillet on medium heat. Add butter and oil until hot. Add your shallots and garlic. Then add your flour and whisk until smooth.
5. Stir in broth, milk, and sherry, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add in half of your swiss cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Arrange broccoli in baking dish. Pour half your cheese sauce over broccoli. Then add chicken, and cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle the remaining swiss cheese, parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs on top.
