# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Arrange them in a single layer on one baking sheet.
03 - Bake the potato wedges for 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
04 - While potatoes bake, whisk the egg in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
05 - Dip each chicken tender in the egg, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb-herb mixture.
06 - Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken tenders in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
07 - Optionally, keep cooked chicken warm in the oven while cooking remaining batches.
08 - Serve the herbed chicken tenders alongside the hot potato wedges. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
