Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flour, ground flaxseed, Parmesan, salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and olive oil. Mix well.
Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with our Homemade Ketchup and Simple Steamed Asparagus.

Chef Tips

To have a quick meal on hand at any time, lay out cooked, breaded chicken tenders flat in one layer on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and freeze. Store tenders in portions in freezer bags and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
