Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.
Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then into the eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the breaded chicken tenders and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Spoon marinara sauce over each tender, sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
