Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken Tenders The star of the dish
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Greek yogurt can be substituted for a lighter option
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Finely grated for an even coating
- 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix Infuses a burst of herby flavors
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Provides aromatic hints
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Enhances overall taste
- 1 cup Ritz Crackers Crushed for coating
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Take each chicken tender and dip it into the mayonnaise mixture, coating it fully.
- Next, roll the coated chicken tender in crushed Ritz crackers until fully covered.
- Place the coated tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure to flip them halfway through for even crispiness.
Notes
For extra crunch, try adding more crushed crackers or using panko breadcrumbs. Make sure the chicken tenders are not overcrowded on the baking sheet to allow for even cooking. If you want more flavor, marinate the chicken tenders in the mayonnaise mixture for an hour before coating them.
