Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Make the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, Ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well blended.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken tender and generously coat it with the mayo mixture. Then dredge it in the crushed Ritz crackers, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs stick well.
  4. Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced out to allow even cooking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken tenders are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces for an extra burst of flavor.
