1 cup regular oats
3/4 cup (3 oz) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili flakes

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Place oats in a food processor, and process for 20 seconds or until
coarsely ground. Add cheese, thyme, salt pepper and all other spices. Pulse to combine, and place in a shallow bowl.

skillet. Coat both sides of tenders with cooking spray; dredge tenders
in oat mixture. Place tenders on a baking sheet coated with cooking
spray. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes or until browned.
