Crispy Ranch-Infused Chicken Tenders with Cheesy Goodness

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs chicken tenders

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, beaten

Cooking spray or oil for baking

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

In a bowl, marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for better flavor).

In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Dip each chicken tender into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.

Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
