Chili-Lime Baked Chicken Tenders take the classic flavor combination and mashes it with a kid favorite, for a grown up version of chicken tenders that will have you licking your fingers! This easy dinner will be a hit with the whole family!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 4-sided baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Zest the limes and place the zest in a small mixing bowl. Mix in panko bread crumbs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp of chili powder. Toss together.
Squeeze the juice of 3 of the limes into the butter.
Working one at a time, dip the chicken tenders into the butter mixture, and then into the bread crumb mixture. Ensure that each piece of chicken gets a nice coating of bread crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes.
While the chicken tenders are baking, make a dipping sauce by combining greek yogurt, juice of 1 remaining lime, 1 tsp chili powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir together until combined.
Serve chicken strips hot with dipping sauce.

Notes
TIP: I like to finish off my chicken tenders under the broiler for a coupe of minutes just to ensure that the breading gets nice and crispy.
