Crispy Ranch Chicken Tenders

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Ranch Chicken Tenders.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, place some butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and let it melt—this will create a deliciously rich base for your chicken.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your chicken breast and slice it into thin strips, making sure to cut against the grain for that perfect tenderness.

4. Step 4

   In a small bowl, mix together the ranch dressing mix to bring out those zesty flavors.

5. Step 5

   In another bowl, whisk together an egg and some milk until well combined.

6. Step 6

   Then, in a third bowl, pour in your bread crumbs, which will give your chicken that delightful crunch.

7. Step 7

   Now it’s time to coat the chicken! First, dredge each strip in the ranch dressing mix, ensuring it’s well covered.

8. Step 8

   Next, dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and finally, coat it with the bread crumbs, pressing gently to make sure they stick.

9. Step 9

   Once all your chicken strips are coated, arrange them neatly in the prepared baking dish, ready for the oven.

10. Step 10

    Bake your chicken tenders in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes.

11. Step 11

    After that, carefully flip each piece over to ensure even cooking, and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer shows they’ve reached a safe 165°F (74°C), which should take another 15 minutes or so.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re perfectly cooked, let the chicken tenders rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

13. Step 13

    This little pause allows the juices to settle, making each bite even more delicious.

    Enjoy your crispy, flavorful chicken tenders!.
