Method

1. Cut the chicken breast into long strips and place them in a bowl.
2. Add the lime juice, minced garlic, and half the olive oil to the chicken, letting it marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Mix the breadcrumbs with paprika and salt in a shallow plate.
5. Press each chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
6. Cut the zucchini into sticks, toss with the remaining oil, and spread them on the tray with the chicken.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until golden and crunchy.
8. Serve the tenders hot with the roasted zucchini sticks.

Tips

• For extra crunch, toast the breadcrumbs in a pan for 2 minutes before breading the chicken.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
