1 ½cuporiginal Bisquick mix(see notes for DIY baking mix recipe)

Oven directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
Add beaten egg to a small tray or rimmed plate. Mix Bisquick, cheese, garlic salt and paprika together and add to 1-gallon resealable plastic food-storage bag.
Dip the chicken strips into egg; then place in bag of Bisquick mixture. Seal bag; shake to coat. Then REPEAT the process by dipping chicken into egg and shaking in Bisquick mix again. You don't want to skip this step - it makes the chicken crispy and perfectly breaded. Place chicken on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle butter over chicken.
Bake 14 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken tenders half way through (7 minutes). Use an instant read meat thermometer to check temperature of chicken tenderloins. Poultry should be cooked until the internal temperature is 165ºF. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard or ranch.

Notes
Make your own Bisquick with my DIY baking mix recipe (linked). To substitute chicken breasts for chicken tenderloins: use 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch strips.
