Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet.
If necessary, cut chicken breasts into tender size. Smash wavy potato chips into small pieces until they are small enough to be a breading. Scramble eggs together in a small bowl. In a shallow dish combine flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley and dill
Bread the chicken tenders by dipping them first into the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat them in the potato chip breading. Place each breaded chicken tender on the rack on the baking tray.
Bake in the oven at 400F for 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before enjoying.

Crush the chips into fine crumbs. Smaller crumbs stick much better and give a more even, crispy coating. Put the chips in a zip lock bag and crush them finely before coating the chicken.
Press the coating on firmly. After dipping the chicken in the crushed chips, press the coating onto the chicken with your hands. This helps it stick and stay on during baking.
Use a wire rack on your baking sheet. Elevating the chicken on a rack lets hot air circulate underneath and makes the bottom of the tenders just as crispy as the top.
Do not overcrowd the pan. Make sure the tenders have space between them on the baking sheet. Crowding them will cause them to steam instead of getting crispy.
