Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic.
In another bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken tender into the oil mixture, then coat with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
