#### How to Make Crispy Parmesan Chicken Tenders

1. **Prepare the coating:** In a shallow dish, mix Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. **Beat the eggs:** In another bowl, whisk eggs to create an egg wash.
3. **Dredge the chicken:** Dip each chicken tender first in the egg wash, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
