Recipe For Chicken Tenders And Rice

 

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Tenders:

1 lb. of chicken tenders

all-purpose flour, 1 cup

2 beaten eggs

breadcrumbs, 1 cup

1 salt shaker

Black pepper, half a teaspoon

1/2 teaspoon optional paprika

frying using cooking oil

For Rice:

Long-grain white rice, 1 cup

2 cups of chicken broth or water

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Salt as desired

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Tenders:

  • To keep the fried tenders warm while you finish frying, preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C).
  • Create a breading station by adding flour to one bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl. Combine breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and paprika in a third bowl.
  • Each chicken tender is first dipped in the flour, with the excess shaken off. Dip the object into the beaten eggs and let the excess drop off. Place the tender in the mixture of breadcrumbs and press lightly to coat.
  • About 1/2 inch of cooking oil should be heated in a big pan over medium-high heat. The coated chicken tenders should be fried in batches for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden and thoroughly done. Transfer to a plate covered with paper towels to drain. While frying the remaining batches, keep warm in the oven.

Rice Preparation:

  • Rinse the rice in cold water until the water is crystal clear.
  • Heat the butter or the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Rice that has been rinsed should be added and sautéed for a few minutes until transparent.
  • Add a pinch of salt and water or chicken broth to the pot up to a boil.
  • When the rice begins to boil, turn the heat down to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft. With a fork, fluff the rice.

Serve:

  • Arrange crispy chicken tenders on a dish.
  • A large scoop of fluffy rice should be placed next to the tenders.
  • Serve with sides and dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or honey.
  • To finish the dish, include a salad or some steamed veggies.

Enjoy your delicious home-cooked rice and chicken tenders lunch!

Notes

Breading Method: Follow the flour, egg, and breadcrumb breading order to coat the chicken tenders properly. A crispy and delicious outer layer is produced as a result.

Temp. of the oil: When frying the chicken tenders, keep the oil at the proper temperature. They could burn on the outside before fully cooking if it is too hot, and they could turn greasy if it is too cold.

Preparation of Rice: For fluffier grains, rinse the rice to remove extra starch. Before cooking, the rice is sautéed to improve flavor and avoid sticking.

Rice to Liquid Ratio: Use the right volume of liquid (broth or water) to cook the rice. The typical and most effective ratio is 1:2 (1 cup rice to 2 cups liquid).

Draining and Reposing: Before placing cooked chicken tenders in a heated oven, let them cool on paper towels to absorb excess oil. As a result, they stay crispy and don’t go soggy.

To make the tastiest chicken tenders with rice, remember to follow the following instructions. Enjoy your wonderful home-cooked supper!
