For extra crispy chicken, lightly spray the breaded chicken pieces with cooking spray before baking. If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the sauce. Adjust the curry powder to your taste; start with less and add more if desired. Serve these lemon chicken tenders with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Mar 11, 2025The lemon sauce is the perfect touch. It's tangy, sweet, and a little bit spicy from the curry. I'll definitely be making this again!
