Set up three shallow bowls: one for flour mixture, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.

In the flour bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Beat the eggs in the second bowl until fully mixed.

In the third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Dredge each chicken tender in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mix.

Let the chicken rest to help the coating adhere better.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Carefully fry each tender for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Drain cooked tenders on paper towels.

Prepare garlic dip by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, and lemon juice.

Serve chicken tenders with the creamy garlic dip.
