Garlic-Crusted Chicken Tenders with Mashed Potato Coating

Pour oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk and egg. In another shallow bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, salt, and pepper.

Dip chicken tenders in the milk mixture to coat thoroughly, then shake off excess milk. Next, dip each tender into the potato flakes mixture.

Fry breaded tenders in hot oil until golden brown, for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
