Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.
Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the coated chicken tenders to help them crisp up while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping the tenders halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken tenders rest for 2 minutes before serving.
